Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are these conversions?
Our unit converter uses precise conversion factors and performs calculations with high precision. For most everyday purposes, the results are more than adequate. For scientific or engineering applications requiring extreme precision, we recommend verifying with specialized tools.
What's the difference between the metric and imperial systems?
The metric system (officially known as the International System of Units or SI) is based on powers of 10, making conversions within the system simple. The imperial system, used primarily in the United States, uses a variety of conversion factors between units. Most countries worldwide have adopted the metric system as their official system of measurement.
Why do I get a different result for temperature conversions?
Unlike other unit conversions, temperature conversions don't use simple multiplication factors because Celsius and Fahrenheit scales have different zero points. The formulas used are: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 and °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9.
