Many of my clients work in different unit systems. Because I can't remember all the unit conversion factors, I have carried around a sheet with the factors for many conversions. That's fine for creating a spreadsheet or computer program, but is not great when listening to a presentation and someone mentions their well rate or productivity index in different units from the ones in my normal frame of reference. Stopping the presentation to ask "Wait, is that a lot of GOR or not?" spoils the flow of their presentation.
A few weeks ago someone gave me a sheet with x-y graphs for converting a few values. That was pretty good because I could convert any amount without using a calculator or spreadsheet. But, such a sheet could only have a few conversions because the graphs took up too much room.
I tried to improve on that by making a set of nomographs for unit conversion. I hope this will be helpful to you.
If you find an error or want to request another nomograph, tell me in the comments.
