These charts vary considerably in dosage equivalency so should only be taken as a starting point. Titration to effect is the key. Also remember for the same drug being used in a population, there is a 4 fold variation in plasma levels for hydrocodone and oxycodone and an 8 fold variation in morphine levels.
One chart is located at http://algosresearch.org/PracticeTools/NarcoticCalculator.html
