How This Tool Works
Our unit converter supports multiple types of conversions:
- Length: Convert between metric (mm, cm, m, km) and imperial (in, ft, yd, mi) units
- Weight: Convert between metric (mg, g, kg) and imperial (oz, lb, st, ton) units
- Temperature: Convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin
- Volume: Convert between metric (mL, L, m³) and imperial (fl oz, pt, gal) units
- Area: Convert between various units of area (m², km², ft², yd², acre, ha)
The calculator ensures accuracy by first converting the input value to a base unit, then converting to the desired output unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of conversions can I perform?
Our unit converter supports length, weight, temperature, volume, and area conversions. You can convert between metric and imperial units, as well as other common measurement systems.
How accurate are the conversions?
Our converter uses precise conversion factors and provides results with up to 6 decimal places for most conversions (2 decimal places for temperature). All conversions are based on internationally recognized standards.
Why do we need different measurement systems?
Different measurement systems evolved historically in different regions. While the metric system is now the international standard, imperial and other units are still commonly used in many countries, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom.
