Open parts per million converterA unit converter is a calculator that changes a measurement from one unit into another equivalent unit. For example, it can convert centimeters to inches, kilograms to pounds, or Fahrenheit to Celsius.
The goal is simple: enter a value, choose a measurement category, choose the units, and get the converted result with the formula shown below it.
Most measurement conversions use a conversion factor. A conversion factor tells you how many units of one measurement equal another measurement.
Once you know the factor, you can multiply or divide the original value to get the answer.
To convert by hand, find the correct conversion factor first. Then apply the formula carefully and keep the unit label with the answer.
| Conversion | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| cm to inches | inches = cm / 2.54 | 10 cm = 3.937 inches |
| kg to lbs | pounds = kg x 2.2046226218 | 5 kg = 11.023 lbs |
| Fahrenheit to Celsius | C = (F - 32) x 5 / 9 | 68 F = 20 C |
A unit converter changes a measurement from one unit to an equivalent value in another unit, such as centimeters to inches, kilograms to pounds, or Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Xunits uses standard conversion factors and shows formulas so results can be checked. Displayed answers may be rounded for readability, while the formula explains the underlying relationship.
Most conversions use multiplication or division by a factor. Temperature and fuel economy can require offset or reciprocal formulas, so Xunits treats those categories separately.
Common searches include cm to inches, inches to cm, kg to lbs, lbs to kg, Fahrenheit to Celsius, meters to feet, liters to gallons, miles to kilometers, and square feet to square meters.
