Inputs:

maximum surge pressure (Psurge fluid)		pascal atmosphere bar dyne/centimeter^2 foot of water inch of mercury inch of water kilonewton/meter^2 millibar millimeter of mercury newton/meter^2 pound/foot^2 pound/inch^2 torr
acceleration of gravity (g)		meter/second^2 centimeter/second^2 foot/second^2 inch/second^2 kilometer/second^2 mile/second^2 millimeter/second^2 yard/second^2
pressure wave velocity (a)		meter/second centimeter/hour centimeter/second foot/day foot/second inch/hour inch/second kilometer/second knot mach sea level 15 C meter/day mile/hour mile/second millimeter/second speed of light in vacuum yard/second
unit weight of fluid (γ)		pound/foot^3

Conversions:

maximum surge pressure (Psurge fluid)	=	0		=	0	pound/inch^2
acceleration of gravity (g)	=	0		=	0	foot/second^2
pressure wave velocity (a)	=	0		=	0	foot/second
unit weight of fluid (γ)	=	0		=	0	pound/foot^3
