Frequently Asked Questions

It converts length, area (incl. hectares), volume (incl. cL/dL), mass, speed, time, temperature, energy (BTU/kcal), power (BTU/h, kW, hp), torque, pressure, frequency (Hz, rpm, rad/s, period), luminance, luminous efficacy, nautical/geography distances (nautical miles, cables, fathoms, leagues), data (Bytes/Bits up to Yotta/Yobi), and air concentration. Best for quick everyday conversions and engineering lookups.

Pick a Category, then choose From and To units (they show as “symbol (name)”, e.g., km/h (kilometres per hour)), enter a value, and the result appears instantly with both a numeric value and a human-readable unit name. Use the “Swap” button to reverse quickly.

SI uses powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB…), IEC uses powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB…). Choose the base from the Data Base dropdown; the From/To lists rebuild so you only see the selected family for both Bytes and Bits.

Yes. The Data category includes both Bytes and Bits in the same list for the chosen base; conversions apply the exact 8:1 ratio and the selected SI or IEC multipliers up to Yotta/Yobi.

Luminance (cd/m², nits, fL, cd/ft²) measures emitted or reflected brightness per area. Luminous Efficacy converts between lm/W and % of the 683 lm/W theoretical maximum—useful for LEDs and lighting efficiency.

The tool renders correct typographic symbols (e.g., m/s, km/h, BTU/h, cd/ft², mg/m³, µg/m³) for clarity and SEO; your selections always show the proper symbol and a descriptive name.

The Nautical Distance category converts between nautical miles (nmi/sea mile), cables (international & US), fathoms, nautical leagues, and cross-converts with km, m, mi, and ft.

Yes. Use “Copy” to copy the numeric value, or “Copy (w/ unit)” to copy a friendly phrase like “3.5 megabytes” for pasting into emails or reports.

Click “Use this” next to any unit; the tool sets the Category and From unit automatically, picks a sensible To unit, and expands the matching accordion section for faster workflows.

Yes. Use the “Decimals” dropdown (0–10). The tool rounds the final result to your selection while preserving precise internal math.

Absolutely. The tool uses standard formulas for °C⇄°F, K, and °R, handling absolute scales correctly.

Yes. Energy supports BTU and kcal; Power supports BTU/h and kcal/h, along with W, kW, and hp for HVAC and appliance sizing comparisons.

Constants and exact factors are used where defined (e.g., in, ft, mi, nmi, BTU/it); temperature and gas conversions apply standard formulas and the ideal gas relation for context-dependent cases.
