Unit Converter

Here are some instructions:

• Enter a number and a unit in the two "Convert from:" fields.
• Use lbm for pound-mass, and lb for pound force. They are not interchangeable.
• Do not use F or C in mixed units, use R or K instead. For example use W/m K instead of W/m C.
• A mixed unit can have several units in the numerator and several in the denominator.
• You may use a caret for exponents (negative or positive).
• At the bottom of the applet, the unit is specified in terms of primitive units.
• If you change the system to "user specified" you may also change the "convert to" unit. A warning will be issued if the two units are not compatible.
• See the unit list for a list of built in units and prefixes, and a more detailed description.
