Unit converter for engineering quantities

Metric and imperial conversion for the quantities that appear on casting drawings, material certificates and test reports.

Converter

Method, assumptions and limitations

Conversion uses exact definitions (1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg, 1 lbf = 4.4482216152605 N; psi and ksi derived from these; °F = °C × 9/5 + 32; K = °C + 273.15). Results are rounded for display. Hardness scales are not included because conversions between hardness scales are material-dependent approximations.
