Average Value = 0.637 x Peak Value

RMS Value = 0.707 x Peak Value

Peak Value = 1.414 x RMS Value

Peak to Peak Value = 2 x Peak Value

Peak to Peak Value = 2.828 x RMS Value
Acceleration
1 g = 32.174 ft/sec2

1 g = 9.807 m/sec2

in./sec2 = 0.0254 m/sec2

Displacement
1 mil = 0.001 in.

1 mil = 0.0254 mm

1 in. = 25.4 mm

1 cm = 10 mm

Frequency
1 Hz = 1 cps

1 Hz = 0.159 rad/sec

1 Hz = 60 rpm

1 rpm = 0.0167 Hz

1 rpm = 1 cpm

Compliance and Pressure
mm/N = in./lb x 5.7

in./lb = mm/N x 0.175

psi = kg/cm2 x 14.223

kg/cm2 = psi x 0.0703

psi = Pascal (Pa) x 1.45 x 10-4

Pascal = psi x 6895

Pascal = kg/cm2 x 9.8 x 104
