CONVERSION FACTORS

TEMPERATURE: 

If F and C denote readings on the Fahrenheit and centigrade standard scales, respectively, for the same, then

C = 5/9* (F - 32) F = (9/5)* C + 32

Some common reference points are:

0° C = 32° F, 22° C = 71.6° F, 37° C = 98.6° F, and 100° C = 212° F.


CONVERSION TABLE FOR MEDICATED FEEDS:

	1 Pound = 453.6 Grams				1 Milligram = 1,000 Micrograms
	1 Gram = 0.0022 Pounds			1 Microgram = 0.001 Milligrams
	1 Gram = 1,000 Milligrams			1 Microgram Per Gram = 1 Part Per Million
	1 Gram = 1,000,000 Micrograms		 	
	1 Kilogram = 1,000 Grams			1 Part Per Million (PPM) = 0.454 Mg/Lb.	
	1 Kilogram = 2.205 Pounds			1 Part Per Million (PPm) = 0.907 Grams
	1 Milligram = 0.001 Grams				Per Ton

HOUSEHOLD MEASURES:

		1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5cc = 1 fl dram
		1 dessertspoon = 8cc = 2 fl drams
		1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 15cc = 1/2 fl ounce
  		1 teacup = 120cc = 4 fl ounces
		1 tumbler = 240cc = 8 fl ounces = 1/2 pint
		8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
