Conversion factors, table

Beginning students often regard the metric system as difficult because it is new to them and because they think they must learn all the English-metric conversion factors (Table 2-3). Engineers do have to work in both systems in the United States, but scientists generally do not work in the English system at all. Once you familiarize yourself with the metric system, it is much easier to work with than the English system is. 

Hydrogen and oxygen reported on the moist basis may or may not contain the hydrogen and oxygen of the associated moisture, and the analytical report should stipulate which is the case because of the variation in conversion factors (Table 1.3). These factors apply to calorific values as well as to proximate analysis (Table 1.4) and to ultimate analysis (Table 1.5).

Because we want to change from pounds to grams, we look for a relationship between these emits of mass. The conversion factor table foemd on the back inside cover tells us that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
