Useful conversions
Listed are some useful conversions
relating to pressure, velocity, mass
and distance.
PRESSURE
1 atm = 1.01325 bar
1 atm = 14.6959 psi
1 bar = 14.5038 psi
1 psi = 0.0689476 bar
VELOCITY
1 Ft/s = 0.3048 m/s
1 Ft/s = 0.6818180 Mph
1 m/s = 3.28084 Ft/s
1 m/s = 2.23694 Mph
1 m/s = 3.6 Kph
MASS
1 g = 0.05274 oz
1 Kg = 2.20462 Ib
1 oz = 0.0283495 Kg
DISTANCE
1 mm = 0.0393701 Inch
1 Inch = 25.4mm
1 thou = 25.4 micron
1 micron = 0.0393701 thou
FORMULA TO CONVERT
FEET PER SECOND (Ft/s)
TO FOOT Lbs (Force)
1 foot Ibs (force) = 1.35582 Joules
1 Joule = 0.737562 foot Ibs (force)
1 Gram = 15.4324 Grains
1 Grain = 0.000142857 lb
1 lb = 7000 Grains
Velocity squared x Projectile weight
VELOCITY = Ft/s (feet per second)
PROJECTILE WEIGHT = GRAINS
Therefore a paintball @ 3.2grams
@ 300Ft/s= 9.9 foot lbs (ftlbs)
