Interactive Conversion of Measurement Values in Various Units by Dr Shaiq U.R. Khan BEng (Civil), MEng, PhD, CEng, FIStructE 05 December 2001 Techno Consultants Ltd 117 Portland Street, Manchester M1 6ED, England
UnitsCalc is an Excel 97/2000 Template for the conversion of measurements among units of physics and mechanics used by engineers and architects in the building trade. The systems of units covered are: British Imperial System, French Metric System, U.S. Customary System, the International System of Units and some other units used in practice e.g. navigation, astronomy, etc. Features The file size is under 500 KB. At 3 KB/second, your download time would be around 4 minutes.

A mouse click converts a known measurement from any one unit to rest of the units in a convesion table. Conversion values can be copied to the clipboard for use elsewhere.. Help button for instant instructions of use. Control for decimal places in normal size numbers. Full Documentation is included within the template i.e. Features, Consistent Set of Units, User Notes, Terms and Conditions of Use and Revision History of the Template.

Interactive Conversion of Measurement Values in Various Units by Dr Shaiq U.R. Khan BEng (Civil), MEng, PhD, CEng, FIStructE 5 December 2001 Techno Consultants Ltd 117 Portland Street, Manchester M1 6ED, England

Introduction UnitsCalc is an interactive Excel Template for conversion of measurements among various units. It deals with unit systems of the past and those in use today. The established systems of units covered are: British Imperial System (BIS), French Metric System, U.S. Customary System (USCS) and International System of units SI. In addition, various other units commonly used in practice are also included. To allow ready conversation of measurements from one system to the other, it has been necessary in some tables to group unlike quantities like mass and force. This has been inevitable due to the difference in fundamental quantities on which the unit systems are based. In the Metric and SI systems, mass is a fundamental quantity. In the BIS and the USCS systems, mass is not a fundamental quantity but a derived unit based on force as a fundamental quantity. Similar to the mass and weight table, speed and velocity have also been grouped together in one table. To keep the file size of UnitsCalc small, the fact that velocity has a direction and speed is directionless has been ignored. In short, UnitsCalc is a simple tool for the conversion of measurement units in use on the planet earth. As the mixture of these units employ different fundamental quantities in mass and force, the user needs to exercise care in using these units correctly. To this end, study of the next worksheet "Consistent Set of Units" might be found helpful.

Loading the Template on to your Computer UnitsCalc is supplied as an Excel 97/2000 Template, having .XLT as its filename extension.

To load UnitsCalc on to your computer, copy this file into Microsoft Office folder for its Templates. Generally the path to this folder in Excel 97 is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates If you are using Excel 2000, the path to this folder is: C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates To load and use the Template in Excel 97 or Excel 2000, choose: File, New and the select the file UnitsCalc20011205-.xlt If you receive an Excel Warning about running Macros and are prompted for whether to load them, answer YES to Load and Enable Macros. UnitsCalc incorporates VB Macros and to allow your computer to use them is vital for its operation.

UnitsCalc User Notes Using UnitsCalc

Loading of UnitsCalc in Excel leads to its Homepage. This page displays command buttons
to all conversion tables and documentation pages in UnitsCalc. Clicking a button displays any desired conversion table or documentation page.

To convert a measurement from any one unit to its equivalent in rest of the units, type your

value in cell C2 ( shaded light green ). After pressing enter/return, use a mouse click in any desired cell of Column-C to select your original unit. The mouse click changes row colour of your original unit to yellow and instantly converts the measurement in cell C2 to its equivalents in respective rows of all other units (cells shaded light blue).

To display simple conversion factors from any one unit to rest of the units, you can type a
value of 1 in cell C2 (shaded light green) as your measurement.

To navigate among various conversion tables, click the Home button in top left cell of the To copy a converted value to the Clipboard, click its unit name in right column of the

table. This takes you to the Homepage of UnitsCalc for going to other conversion tables. conversion table. This displays a dialog box showing the value copied to the clipboard. Click OK in this dialog box. The copied value can now be pasted in another worksheet or application e.g. MS word.

In converse to the above, a conversion value can be pasted in Cell C2 from another

worksheet or application via the clipboard. However, please use the Paste-Special - value command rather than the simple Paste Command. The Paste command erases the cell colour and its data validation capability.

When ending a session of UnitsCalc, Excel displays a dialogue box for saving the UnitsCalc
file. Select "NO" to this option as changes to the UnitsCal file do not require saving.

Consistent Set of Units


In dynamic analysis of structures, it is essential to use a consistent set of units. This means that in calculations Newton's second law, force equal mass times acceleration, is identically satisfied without using scale or conversion factors.

In a consistent set of units, one unit of force applied to one unit of mass must equal to one unit of acceleration i.e. 1 unit force = 1 unit mass x 1 unit acceleration A correct dynamic analysis demands using consistent units. To avoid errors, Blevins any of the following consistent set of units.
[1]

suggests using

Force Newton kgf kgf dyne gramf lbf lbf

Mass kg kg/g kg/g gram gram/g slug lbf/g

Length m m cm cm cm ft in

Time s s s s s s s

Pressure Pascal kgf/m2 kgf/cm2 dyne/cm2 gramf/cm2 lbf/ft2 lbf/in2

Density kilogram/m3 kilogram/g-m3 kilogram/g-cm3 gram/cm3 gram/g-cm3 slug/ft3 pound/g-in3

It is also possible to use other sets of units. For example, if kN is chosen as the unit of force and one m/s2 as the unit of acceleration, then the unit of mass must be such that 1 kN of force will accelerate it at 1 m/s2. The unit of mass that satisfies this criteria is 1 Tonne i.e. 1000 kilograms (Mg).
