Convert pipe to lambda

Learn how to convert 1 pipe to lambda step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p i p e) = x (l a m b d a)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (p i p e) = 4.76961884784 \times 10^{- 1} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 4.76961884784 \times 10^{- 1} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (l a m b d a) = 10^{- 9} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 10^{- 9} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p i p e) = x (l a m b d a)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.76961884784 \times 10^{- 1} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 9} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.76961884784 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 10^{- 9} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.76961884784 \times 10^{- 1} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 10^{- 9} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

4.76961884784 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 10^{- 9}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

4.76961884784 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times {10^{- 9}}^{10^{- 8}}

Simplify

4.76961884784 = x \times 10^{- 8}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 8} = 4.76961884784

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 8}})

x \times 10^{- 8} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 8}} = 4.76961884784 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 8}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 8} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 8}} = 4.76961884784 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 8}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.76961884784}{10^{- 8}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 8}} can be rewritten to 10^{8}

Rewrite

x = 10^{8} \times 4.76961884784

Solve

x

x \approx 476961884.78 \approx 4.7696 \times 10^{8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p i p e) \approx 4.7696 \times 10^{8} (l a m b d a)
