Thread: US units vs metric units

  1. US units vs metric units

    hello everybody,

    I want to convert from US units to metric units for the Horner equation. I changed all parameters to given units but could not get the number 2148.8. Help me! no equation wrong!

  3. psi to kPa divide by 0.145
    hours to minutes multiply by 60
    bbls/d to m3/d divide by 6.829
    ft to meters divide by 3.28
    log to the base 10

  5. Did you try to put them all together?

  6. The first line: 1psi = 6.894.7 kPa. And remember why do you need to change hours to minutes if they are canceled out already.

  7. The original paper:

  9. Because inside the loga is time above time, so we don't need to care if it's minute or hour (or even year) when doing unit conversion.

    So the constant has to be
    162.6*6.89476 (psi to kPa)
    162.6*6.89476*0.305 (foot to metre because feet is at the denominator)
    162.6*6.89476*0.305/0.159 (barrel to cubic meter)
    Finally, it's about 2150, pretty close to 2148.8.
    The difference may be due to the precision of the constants that we used to convert psi to kPa, foot to metre and barrel to cubic meter.

    It's better to have a model of uncertainty than an illusion of reality.

  10. Nguyên em,
    C&#225;i thằng 0.159 ở trên, c&#225;i 0.305 ở dưới cơ mà

  11. Bo me dek go dc tieng Viet, cai thang 0.159 o tren con cai 0.305 o duoi co ma
