What this unit converter does
Unit Converter covers length, mass, temperature, area, volume, speed, time, data storage, data rate, pressure, energy and angle. Choose a category, enter a value and see the equivalent in every unit in that category, not just the one you selected.
Conversions use exact defined factors where they exist — an inch is exactly 25.4 millimetres, a pound is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms — and are displayed with significant-digit formatting so very small and very large results stay readable.
Why use it
- Convert a recipe or a specification without looking up factors.
- Compare imperial and metric values in one table.
- Check a temperature or pressure reading in another unit.
How to use it
- 1Choose a category.
- 2Enter the value and pick the source unit.
- 3Read the target value or scan the full table of equivalents.
