單位換算

單位換算是指通過乘以換算係數實現不同計量單位間的等換算。

換算技術

過程

單位換算過程與用戶具體情況和預期目的相關。可能受法令、合同、技術規格或其它出版物技術標準的限制。工程判斷可能包括以下因素:

某些從一個單位系統需要不增減精度地向另一個單位體系嚴密轉換第一個量度。有時被稱為「軟轉換」。它不涉及更改被計量的物理配置。

與之相比,「硬轉換」或「適應轉換」可能不完全相等。它更改計量以適合在新體系內的有效數字與單位。它有時涉及項目的稍微不同的配置或尺寸替代。有時允許並使用標稱值。

換算係數

此條目內不列出在公制單位國際單位制詞頭間的轉換(例如:1 千克 = 1000 克, 1 毫克 = 0.001 克)。除非單位還有其他常見名稱。

表格次序

各表內的單位以其英文字詞的字母順序列出,突出顯示SI單位(基本單位或導出單位)。

換算係數表

此條目給出列於索引內的各個物理量數值轉換係數列表。各物理量不同單位的數值以相應的SI術語表示並顯示(某些僅有歷史意義)。

質量

Notes:

  • 查看重量條目以獲取關於質量/重量的區別和換算方法。
  • Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound.
  • In this table, the unit gee is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the "g" symbol for grams.
  • 物理學中,the pound of mass is sometimes written lbm to distinguish it from the pound-force (lbf). It should not be read as the mongrel unit "pound metre".

Often, information entropy is measured in shannons, whereas the (discrete) storage space of digital devices is measured in bits. Thus, uncompressed redundant data occupy more than one bit of storage per shannon of information entropy. The multiples of a bit listed above are usually used with this meaning. Other times the bit is used as a measure of information entropy and is thus a synonym of shannon.

Luminous intensity

The candela is the preferred nomenclature for the SI unit.

Luminous intensity

candlepower (new) cp ≡ cd The use of candlepower as a unit is discouraged due to its ambiguity. = 1 cd
candlepower (old, pre-1948) cp Varies and is poorly reproducible.[33] Approximately 0.981 cd.[14] ≈ 0.981 cd

Radiation - source activity

Radioactivity
Name of unit Symbol Definition Relation to SI units
becquerel (SI unit) Bq ≡ Number of disintegrations per second = 1 Bq = 1/s
curie Ci ≡ 3.7×1010 Bq = 3.7×1010 Bq [34]
rutherford(H) rd ≡ 1 MBq = 1×106 Bq

Please note that although becquerel (Bq) and hertz (Hz) both ultimately refer to the same SI base unit (s−1), Hz is used only for periodic phenomena, and Bq is only used for stochastic processes associated with radioactivity.[35]

Radiation - exposure

Radiation - exposure
Name of unit Symbol Definition Relation to SI units
roentgen R 1 R ≡ 2.58×10-4 C/kg[31] = 2.58×10-4 C/kg

The roentgen is not an SI unit and the NIST strongly discourages its continued use.[36]

Radiation - absorbed dose

Radiation - absorbed dose
Name of unit Symbol Definition Relation to SI units
gray (SI unit) Gy ≡ 1 J/kg = 1 m2/s2 [37] = 1 Gy
rad rad ≡ 0.01 Gy[31] = 0.01 Gy

Radiation - equivalent dose

Radiation - equivalent dose
Name of unit Symbol Definition Relation to SI units
Röntgen equivalent man rem ≡ 0.01 Sv = 0.01 Sv
sievert (SI unit) Sv ≡ 1 J/kg[35] = 1 Sv

Although the definitions for sievert (Sv) and gray (Gy) would seem to indicate that they measure the same quantities, this is not the case. The effect of receiving a certain dose of radiation (given as Gy) is variable and depends on many factors, thus a new unit was needed to denote the biological effectiveness of that dose on the body; this is known as the equivalent dose and is shown in Sv. The general relationship between absorbed dose and equivalent dose can be represented as

H = Q · D

where H is the equivalent dose, D is the absorbed dose, and Q is a dimensionless quality factor. Thus, for any quantity of D measured in Gy, the numerical value for H measured in Sv may be different.[38]

Software tools

Home and office computers come with converters in bundled spreadsheet applications or can access free converters via the Internet. Units and measurements can be easily converted using these tools, but only if the units are explicitly defined and the conversion is compatible (e.g., cmHg to kPa).

General commercial sources of converters

  • Advanced electronic calculators have unit-conversion functionality.
  • Spreadsheet programs usually provide conversion functions or formulas or the user can write their own.
  • Commercial mathematical, scientific and technical applications often include converters.

In fiction

When a measure is converted to another unit in a fiction work like a novel or film, the value often loses meaning (as in numerology) or gets too many significant digits ("40 miles" turns into "64 km"). For this reason, authors sometimes choose numbers that can be converted easily. Most notably, distances measured in miles often begin with 3 or 5, so the value ghjcfugffyhfdfgjvcgconverted to km also has one significant digit (5 or 8).
