Conversion Factors
CONVERSION FACTORS
TEMPERATURE: If F and C denote readings on the Fahrenheit and centigrade standard
scales, respectively, for the same, then
C = 5/9* (F - 32)
F = (9/5)* C + 32
Some common reference points are: 0C = 32F
22C = 71.6F
37C = 98.6F
100C = 212F.

CONVERSION TABLE FOR MEDICATED FEEDS:

1 Pound = 453.6 Grams
1 Milligram = 1,000 Micrograms
1 Gram = 0.0022 Pounds
1 Microgram = 0.001 Milligrams
1 Gram = 1,000 Milligrams
1 Microgram Per Gram = 1 Part Per Million
1 Gram = 1,000,000 Micrograms
1 Part Per Million (ppm) = 0.454 mg/lb.
1 Kilogram = 1,000 Grams
1 Part Per Million (ppm) = 0.907 Grams Per Ton
1 Kilogram = 2.205 Pounds
1 Milligram = 0.001 Grams

HOUSEHOLD MEASURES:
1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5cc = 1 fl dram
1 dessertspoon = 8cc = 2 fl drams
1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 15cc = 1/2 fl ounce
1 teacup = 120cc = 4 fl ounces
1 tumbler = 240cc = 8 fl ounces = 1/2 pint
8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
