Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the conversions?
Our conversions use standard conversion factors and are accurate to 8 decimal places. For scientific applications, always verify with official standards.
Can I convert between different measurement systems?
Yes, you can convert between any units within a category, regardless of measurement system (metric to imperial, US customary to metric, etc.).
Why doesn’t temperature use the same conversion method as other units?
Temperature scales have different zero points and interval sizes, requiring special formulas (like °F = °C × 9/5 + 32) rather than simple multiplication factors.
