unit conversion 8

[tulum]

I don't know if I am in the right forum (just dropping in), however, need some help with a conversion.


I have a support (electrical insulator) that is good for a certain force in in.lbs (fron the data sheet). I have also calculated the force on the insulator for the given arrangement, only the result is in daN.

How do I get the units to equal?

Thanks.

A free program called WinConvert is what I use all the time to go between units, specifically English to Metric(SI) etc.

I hope this helps!

Brian,

Thanks for the link. I added it to the FAQ Unit Converters (faq404-901).

All,

If anyone has any other links they would like me to add to the FAQ, please use the Send a Comment to MLoew About This FAQ link to send me comments rather than promulgating in this thread.



Best regards,
