Conversion Factors and Weights and Measures for Agricultural Commodities and Their Products.

PB296205

Publication Date	1979
Page Count	93
Abstract	The tables in this report were compiled to provide a manual of uniform conversion factors for use in statistical, research, and service programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A reasonably complete set of all-purpose factors is presented. A new table showing metric wet and dry volume conversion factors has been added. These data, along with other metric information, provide a basis for converting most weights and measures shown in this report to metric measures. The data are intended to represent overall averages except where indicated. However, in some instances the averages are only approximations, and for a particular commodity, the data in this report may not be entirely adequate for all uses. All conversion factors included are based on the most recent and reliable information available and are intended to reflect current conditions and practices. Factors for many commodities change from year to year; therefore, caution should be exercised when using these data to compile or revise historical series.
