A sheet or strip of plastic or other material having scale markings and graduations designed for converting units of pressure altitude in inches to the corresponding atmospheric pressure in millibars, miles per hour to knots per hour to meters per second, and degrees Fahrenheit to degrees centigrade.
Additional Information for Pressure-Speed-Temperature Conversion Scale
The Pressure-Speed-Temperature Conversion Scale is a tool used in meteorological instruments and apparatus to convert pressure, speed, and temperature measurements between different units of measurement. It allows meteorologists and researchers to easily convert data from one unit to another, ensuring consistency and accuracy in their analyses.
The specific conversion scales may vary depending on the instrument or apparatus being used, but some common examples include:
1. Pressure Conversion Scale:
- Millibar (mb) to Inches of Mercury (inHg)
- Pascal (Pa) to Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
- Atmosphere (atm) to Kilopascal (kPa)
2. Speed Conversion Scale:
- Meters per Second (m/s) to Miles per Hour (mph)
- Kilometers per Hour (km/h) to Knots (kt)
- Feet per Second (ft/s) to Mach Number (M)
3. Temperature Conversion Scale:
- Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F)
- Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K)
- Fahrenheit (°F) to Rankine (°R)
These conversion scales are essential for meteorologists and researchers to interpret and compare data collected from different instruments or sources. They ensure that measurements are standardized and can be easily understood and analyzed by professionals in the field.
