         GENERAL INFORMATION

    METRIC CONVERSIONS

    METRIC CONVERSIONS
         Metric conversions are making life more difficult for the
mechanic. In addition to doubling the number of tools required,
metric-dimensioned nuts and bolts are used alongside English
components in many new vehicles. The mechanic has to decide which tool
to use, slowing down the job. The tool problem can be solved by trial
and error, but some metric conversions aren't so simple. Converting
temperature, lengths or volumes requires a calculator and conversion
charts, or else a very nimble mind. Conversion charts are only part of
the answer though, because they don't help you "think" metric, or
"visualize" what you are converting. The following examples are
intended to help you "see" metric sizes:

    LENGTH
         Meters are the standard unit of length in the metric system.
The smaller units are 10ths (decimeter), 100ths (centimeter), and
1000ths (millimeter) of a meter. These common examples might help you
to visualize the metric units:

     *   A meter is slightly longer than a yard (about 40 inches).
     *   An aspirin tablet is about one centimeter across (.4 inches).
     *   A millimeter is about the thickness of a dime.

    VOLUME
         Cubic meters and centimeters are used to measure volume, just
as we normally think of cubic feet and inches. Liquid volume
measurements include the liter and milliliter, like the English quarts
or ounces.

     *   One teaspoon is about 4 cubic centimeters.
     *   A liter is about one quart.
     *   A liter is about 61 cubic inches.

    WEIGHT
         The metric weight system is based on the gram, with the most
common unit being the kilogram (1000 grams). Our comparable units are
ounces and pounds:

     *   A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.
     *   An ounce is about 28 grams.

    TORQUE
         Torque is somewhat complicated. The term describes the amount
of effort exerted to turn something. A chosen unit of weight or force
is applied to a lever of standard length. The resulting leverage is
called torque. In our standard system, we use the weight of one pound
applied to a lever a foot long, resulting in the unit called a foot-
pound. A smaller unit is the inch-pound (the lever is one inch long).
         Metric units include the meter kilogram (lever one meter long
with a kilogram of weight applied) and the Newton-meter (lever one
meter long with force of one Newton applied). Some conversions are:

             *       A meter kilogram is about 7.2 foot pounds.
             *       A foot pound is about 1.4 Newton-meters.
             *       A centimeter kilogram (cmkg) is equal to .9 inch pounds.

            PRESSURE
         Pressure is another complicated measurement. Pressure is
described as a force or weight applied to a given area. Our common
unit is pounds per square inch. Metric units can be expressed in                                                                   
several ways. One is the kilogram per square centimeter (kg/cm ).
Another unit of pressure is the Pascal (force of one Newton on an area
of one square meter), which equals about 4 ounces on a square yard.
Since this is a very small amount of pressure, we usually see the
kiloPascal, or kPa (1000 Pascals). Another common automotive term for
pressure is the bar (used by German manufacturers), which equals 10
Pascals. Thoroughly confused? Try the examples below:

             *       Atmospheric pressure                       at sea level is                 about 14.7 psi.
             *       Atmospheric pressure                       at sea level is                 about 1 bar.                 
             *       Atmospheric pressure                       at sea level is                 about 1 kg/cm .
             *       One pound per square                       inch is about 7                 kPa.
