APPENDIX G - CONVERSIONS
Listed below are several commonly used equivalents between the SI (Système Internationale) units of weights and
measures used in the metric system, and those used in other systems.
Distance
1 metro (m) = 100 centimeters (cm) = 1000 millimeters (mm)
1 kilometer (km) = 1000 metros (m)
1 international foot = 0.3048 metro
1 US survey foot = 0.3048006096 metro
1 statute mile = 1609.3 metros
1 nautical mile = 1852 metros
Temperature
degrees Celsius = (5/9) x [(degrees Fahrenheit) - 32]
degrees Fahrenheit = [(9/5) x (degrees Celsius)] + 32
Volume
1 liter (l) = 1000 cubic centimeters (cc)
1 gallon (Imperial) = 4.546 litters
1 gallon (US) = 3.785 litters
Weight
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams
1 pound = 0.4536 kilogram (kg)

GPS Time of Week (e.g. 511 306 seconds) to Calendar Day
1. (511 306 seconds) / (86 400 seconds / day) = 5.917893519 days
2. (0.917893519 days) x (24 hours / day) = 22.02944444 hours
3. (0.02944444 hours) x (60 minutes / hour) = 1.76666667 minutes
4. (0.76666667 minutes) x (60 seconds / minute) = 46 seconds
5. So, 511 306 seconds = Day 5 (Thursday) + 22 hours, 1 minute, 46 seconds into Friday.
Calendar Date
E.g. 11:30 hours, January 22, 1995 (before GPS week rollover August 22, 1999)
Days from January 6, 1980 to January 22, 1995 = 15 years x 365 days / year = 5475 days
Add a day for each leap year (a year that is divisible by 4 but not by 100; every 100 years a leap year is skipped) = 4 days
Days into 1995 (22
nd
is not finished) = 21 days
Total days = 5500 days
Deduct 5 days: January 1
st
through to January 5
th
, 1980 = 5495
GPS Week: 5495 x 86400 seconds per day = 474768000 seconds/604800 seconds per week = 785
Seconds into week: 22
nd
day: 11.5 hrs x 3600 seconds/hr = 41400
GPS time of week: Week 785, 41400 seconds
E.g. 13:30 hours, January 28, 2005 (after GPS week rollover August 22, 1999)
Days from August 22, 1999 to January 28, 2005 = 6 years x 365 days / year = 2190 days
Add a day for each leap year = 2 days
Days into 2005 (28
th
is not finished) = 27 days
Total days = 2219 days
Deduct 21 days: August 1
st
through to August 21
st
, 1999 = 2198
GPS Week: 2198 x 86400 seconds per day = 189907200 seconds/604800 seconds per week = 314
Seconds into week: 28
th
day: 13.5 hrs x 3600 seconds/hr = 48600
GPS time of week: Week 314, 48600 seconds
