Unit, date and time converters
Conversions are reliable only when the input and output units are clear. These tools cover measurements such as length, area, volume, weight, temperature, pressure and data storage, alongside dates and time zones. Enter a value, choose the source unit and select the result you need. For example, a temperature conversion needs both a scale change and an offset: 0 degrees Celsius is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Simply multiplying by a ratio would give the wrong answer.
Watch for units with similar names. US and imperial volume measures differ, and decimal storage units such as megabytes differ from binary units such as mebibytes. A rounded display can be useful for a recipe or a quick estimate, but retain enough precision when a result will feed another calculation. The individual converter lists the units and conventions it supports.
Date and time tasks need a little more context. A time-zone offset can change with daylight saving time, so use a date as well as a location when planning a meeting. Calendar days are different from working days, and an inclusive date interval is different from elapsed days. Choose the tool that matches your convention and check the displayed assumptions before copying a result into a schedule.
