Ursa Majoris Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I guess I don't get where the massive expense would come in. Replacement of every distance road sign for a start. Rather than look at the negative aspects of this, who exactly benefits from the US switching to the metric system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Whomp's problem is very common in international trade. I get quotes using pounds and cubic meters or kilograms and cubic feet all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Replacement of every distance road sign for a start. Rather than look at the negative aspects of this, who exactly benefits from the US switching to the metric system? Â When it was killed, that was the argument. But it would have created jobs, given the US economy a boost in bad times, and could have generated more international trade. Manufacturing took the biggest hit when it was killed. I'm no master of the metric system, but it is easier and much more accurate (except for temperature) than the 'English System' as volumes and linear measurement have a correlation. How many cubic inches in a Gallon? Don't look it up! In metrics cc's have a direct correlation. I always found that title (English System) funny, as the Brits gave it up many years ago.

whomper Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Now I have something that is 60 grams per meter and I need to know what that is per square yard Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 1 square meter = 10.7639104 square feet  so 60 g/sq m = 5.5742 g / sq ft. x 9 sf/sy = 50.1676 g/sq yd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 This one mill we have in thailand always gives us weight in incriments that people dont request.

whomper Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 I have 2 fabrics. 1 is 4.6 oz/yd2 the other is 6.3 oz/yd2. I need to know those 2 weights (individually) in oz or gr/m2. Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I have 2 fabrics. 1 is 4.6 oz/yd2 the other is 6.3 oz/yd2. I need to know those 2 weights (individually) in oz or gr/m2. Please help 1 square yard = 0.83612736 square meters  So the first conversion is 4.6/.83612736 and 6.3/.83612736 for  5.502 oz/m2 for #1 and 7.535 oz/m2 for #2.  Second conversion is to grams: 1 oz=28.349523 grams  5.502(28.349523) = 155.966 g/m2 for #1 and 7.535(28.349523) = 213.606 g/m2 for #2.
