Conversions use exact definitions: 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg, 1 mile = 1.609344 km, 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 litres. Results are rounded to about 6 significant figures.
How this works
Every conversion goes through a base unit (metres, kilograms, litres, metres per second) using exact legal definitions: 1 inch is 2.54 cm, 1 foot is 30.48 cm, 1 mile is 1.609344 km, 1 pound is 0.45359237 kg, 1 ounce is 28.349523125 g and 1 US gallon is 3.785411784 litres. A UK gallon is 4.54609 litres and a nautical mile is 1,852 m.
Temperature is not a simple ratio: °F = °C × 9 ÷ 5 + 32, and kelvin = °C + 273.15. Cooking measures use metric spoons and cups (5 ml teaspoon, 15 ml tablespoon, 250 ml cup), so check whether an American recipe means US cups (about 237 ml).
Results are rounded to about 6 significant figures, which is more precision than any everyday use needs. Heights in centimetres are also shown in feet and inches.
