Length

Metric and imperial distance units. The inch has been defined as exactly 2.54 cm since 1959, so every conversion on this page is exact rather than approximate.

Weight

Mass units. The pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg, and the ounce as one sixteenth of that, so these conversions are exact.

Temperature

Temperature scales do not share a zero point, so they convert by formula rather than by a single multiplier.

Volume

Volume units. Fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts and gallons here are US customary, which are smaller than their imperial counterparts.

Area

Area units for rooms, plots and land. An acre is defined as 4,046.8564224 m² exactly.

Speed

Speed units for driving, running and wind. A knot is one nautical mile per hour, which is why it does not line up neatly with mph.

Time

Durations from milliseconds to years. A year here is 365 days; leap years and calendar months are handled by the date calculators instead.

Data

Digital storage in decimal (SI) units, the same convention drive manufacturers and network speeds use: 1 kB is 1,000 bytes.

Energy

Energy units for food, electricity and physics. The "calorie" on a nutrition label is a kilocalorie — 1,000 of the calories used in physics.

Pressure

Pressure units for tyres, weather and diving. Tyre placards are usually in psi or bar; barometers report in hPa or mmHg.
