Specific fuel consumption: metric to Imperial

Convert g/kWh to lb/BHP-hr. Precise factor for marine fuel engineering; sourced from NIST / ISO / MEPC reference tables.

Formula, assumptions, and limits

$$x_{dst} = f(x_{src})$$

Advanced fuel conversion. Check NIST / ISO standard reference data for high-accuracy factors; marine industry use cases tolerate the four-significant-figure constants used here.
