17 categories, one converter

Each unit is stored as a factor (and, for temperature, an offset) relative to an SI base. Converting mm to inch is 0.001 m ÷ 0.0254 m; converting °C to °F uses the affine transform, not a single scale factor. Search for a unit, or pick a common pair below to pre-fill the converter.

Formula

1 in = 25.4 mm

1 lb = 0.45359237 kg

1 bar = 0.1 MPa = 14.5038 PSI

1 N·m = 0.737562 lb·ft

1 hp = 0.7457 kW (mechanical)

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32

Example — 120 MPa to PSI

120 MPa = 120 × 145.0377 = 17,404.5 PSI. The same stress is 1,200 bar.

Common conversions

Length pairs include cm to inch, inch to cm, feet to meters, meters to feet, km to miles and miles to km. Mass is a weight converter (kg to lb, lb to kg, grams to kg, kg to tonnes, ounces to grams). Volume covers liters to gallons, gallons to liters, cubic feet to cubic meters and m³ to liters. Pressure covers MPa to PSI, PSI to MPa, bar to PSI, PSI to bar and kPa to PSI. Force covers N to kgf, kgf to N, N to lbf and lbf to N. Torque covers Nm to lb ft, lb ft to Nm, Nm to lb in and lb in to Nm. Density converter pairs live under density. CFM converter pairs are under flow rate. Click a pair to load it in the converter above.

Frequently asked questions

Which engineering conversions are included?+

17 categories: length (mm to inch, inches to mm, cm to inch, feet to meters, km to miles), area, volume (liters to gallons, m³ to liters), mass (kg to lb, lb to kg — a weight / mass converter), temperature (°C↔°F↔K), pressure (MPa to PSI, bar to PSI, kPa to PSI), force (N to kgf, N to lbf), torque (Nm to lb ft), speed (km/h to mph), time, power (kW to HP, HP to kW, kW to PS), energy, density (g/cm³ to kg/m³), angle (degrees to radians), frequency (Hz to kHz, RPM to Hz), data (MB to GB, MB to MiB) and flow rate (L/min to GPM, CFM).

Are temperature conversions linear like other units?+

No. Temperature uses the correct affine conversions (°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9, Kelvin = °C + 273.15). Every other category is a simple scale factor from a canonical SI base unit.

What horsepower definition do you use?+

Mechanical (imperial) horsepower, 1 hp = 745.699872 W. Metric horsepower (PS, 735.5 W) is listed separately so you can pick the convention your datasheet uses.

Can I search for a unit instead of browsing categories?+

Yes. The search box filters units by symbol and name (for example “psi”, “inch”, or “nm”). On Length, nm is the nanometre. On Torque, nm and Nm select the newton-metre (N·m), which is a separate unit from the nanometre.

Can I type decimal values?+

Yes. Enter 25.4 mm, 0.75 in, or −40 °C. A trailing decimal stays while you type so 25. then 4 becomes 25.4, not 254.
