Oil Field Conversion Part 2 – Length,Mud Weight,Power

The second part of unit conversion is the conversion for  Length,Mud Weight and Power specially used in the oil field.

The RED number is the conversion unit.

Length

Feet x 0.305 = Meters

Inches x 25.4 = Millimeters

Inches x 2.54 = Centimeters

Centimeters x 0.394 = Inches

Millimeters x 0.03937 = Inches

Meters x 3.281 = Feet

Mud Weight

Pounds/gallon x 7.48 = Pounds/cu ft

Pounds/gallon x 0.12 = Specific gravity

Pounds/gallon x 0.1198 = Grams/cu cm

Grams/cu cm x 8.347 = Pounds/gallon

Pounds/cu ft x 0.134 = Pounds/gallon

Specific gravity x 8.34 = Pounds/gallon

Power

Horsepower x 1.014 = Horsepower (metric)

Horsepower x 0.746 = Kilowatts

Horsepower x 550 = Foot-pounds/sec

Horsepower (metric) x 0.986 = Horsepower

Horsepower (metric) x 542.5 = Foot-pounds/sec

Kilowatts x 1.341 = Horsepower

Foot pounds/sec x 0.00181 = Horsepower
