Imperial and SI Fluid Mechanics Dimensions and Units

This document provides a table comparing common units used in fluid mechanics in the Imperial (USCS) and SI systems. It lists fluid mechanics terms such as acceleration due to gravity, area, density, depth, diameter, flow rate, force, head loss, length, pressure, radius, shear stress, specific weight, surface tension, time, thickness, total head, velocity, viscosity, and weight. For each term it gives the dimensions in the Imperial and SI units. The table acts as a reference for converting between the two systems of units used in fluid mechanics.
