unit conversion tools abound on the Internet. This section provides an overview of the most commonly used engineering units and conversions.

      Consistency of units is essential in all engineering calculations. Checking units will often turn up problems with a calculation. In the United States, both the Imperial (inch or foot) and SI (metric) systems are used. Some commonly used engineering units in both systems can be found in Table 1-3.

      There are two common ways to represent Imperial units in the United States: the inch-pound-second system (ips) and the foot-pound-second system (fps). The ips system is more commonly used in machinery design, though certain calculations are often done in the fps system. It is important to note that the unit of pounds mass (lbm) is numerically equal to pounds force (lbf) and must be divided by the gravitational constant before it is used in equations calling for mass. Imperial units of mass are blobs (ips basis) or slugs (fps basis). The values of gravitational acceleration in the Imperial system are as follows:

      ips: gc = 386.4 lbm·in/lbf·s2 (or blobs)

      fps: gc = 32.174 lbm·ft/lbf·s2 (or slugs)

      The metric system, or SI system, is a base-10 system of units that uses prefixes to designate orders of magnitude. The basis of length in the metric system is the meter (m). Common metric prefixes can be found in Table 1-4. Most metric machinery design is done using millimeters (mm) as the standard measure of length.

      Conversion between Imperial and metric units is a fact of life for many designers. Some common engineering unit conversions are listed in Table 1-5.

       EQUATIONS

      Calculation is an essential part of engineering design. It is critical that units be consistent, the correct equations used for the application, and appropriate factors of safety applied. Consult trusted references for calculation guidance. Some common machinery design calculations include geometric relationships, moments of inertia, stress, strain (deformation), and fatigue analysis.

      The relationships in Tables 1-6 through 1-20 are particularly helpful for machinery design. Many of these equations are used in the context of later chapters, but are reproduced here as a quick reference.
