This appendix is a conversion table for various units of measure.

This appendix contains a temperature conversion table listing the temperature readings (in deg F) to be converted and equivalent Celsius temperature values.

This appendix includes a temperature conversion table, a table containing equivalent hardness numbers, and a unit conversion table.

This chapter contains tables providing reference information on physical constants, unit symbols, SI prefixes, the Greek alphabet, and the unit conversion table.

This chapter contains a corrosion rate conversion table and a figure that shows the relationships among some of the units commonly used for corrosion rates of metals.

This appendix lists the weights of various grades of titanium in their original product form. It provides data on commercially pure and alloyed titanium in forms such as flat and rectangular bar, rounds and squares, billet, plate, sheet, pipe, and tube. It also includes conversion tables.

This appendix contains a temperature conversion table listing temperatures to be converted, along with degree Centigrade or Fahrenheit equivalent.

This appendix is a collection of tables listing examples of published hardness conversion equations, approximate Rockwell B and C hardness conversion numbers for nonaustenitic steels, and equivalent hardness numbers for Brinell hardness numbers and Vickers (diamond pyramid) hardness numbers for steel.

This appendix includes tables and figures that provide approximate Brinell equivalent hardness numbers for steels.

This appendix contains a table listing the factors for calculating the ideal critical diameter for steels as given in the ASTM standard A255-67.

This chapter reviews the general principles involved in codifying standards and describes the historical development of materials testing standards. It provides information on the standards related to the Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, and Knoop methods as well as those for the instrumented indentation test and hardness conversions.

This appendix is a table of metric conversions for properties and measurements that commonly apply to metals and alloys.

This appendix presents a table of definitions and conversion factors related to tribology and metalworking.

This appendix provides tables listing alloy compositions and standard designations and common unit and hardness conversion factors.

This chapter provides conversion factors for common engineering units.

This appendix contains metric energy conversions for J and ft-lb.
