Marine unit converter
Convert length, pressure and power units when preparing an equipment or replacement-part enquiry.
Quick reference
Common conversions.
Pressure reference stays the same.
Mechanical hp is defined as 550 ft·lbf/s.
Metric horsepower is a separate unit.
Conversion definitions & sources
Length, pressure and power definitions are checked against NIST SP 811, Appendix B.9. International inch/foot, pound-force and standard-gravity factors are also recorded in RCC Standard 156-10, Table 6.
The tool uses 0.0254 m/in, 0.3048 m/ft and standard gravity of 9.80665 m/s². Mechanical hp is calculated from 550 ft·lbf/s; metric hp (PS) from 75 kgf·m/s. Results use the full factors before display rounding.
