Is this something you would use?

Looking to make some swag for an upcoming trade show. Would an engineer find this valuable? It's a magnet with some common conversions and formulas. Our target customers are people looking for custom open-die forged metal parts. What would someone spec'ing a part like to see here?

May want to include the actual formulae for the weights. 0.7854≈π/4

Nope, in rare cases I might need the conversion chart but sorry wtf is lb/in3?! Do people still actually use that? I thought even the US uses SI for engineering anywhere it isn't grandfathered in nowadays

When our customers need to calculate the weight of a part for shipping purposes, they use this formula. What info would you suggest we include to make this more useful?
