For this project, the conversion table in part III, Appendix is voided and replaced by the following

Conversion Factors

S Factors with an asterisk (*) are exact.

S Use the number of digits needed for the required accuracy.

S When converting from Metric units to English divide by the factor shown (multiply by the inverse).

S Conversion values based on 1 inch = 25.4 millimeters unless otherwise shown.

S For additional conversions refer to the current version of ASTM E380.
