Free Online Unit Converters
Smart Unit Calc provides a growing collection of free online unit conversion tools for everyday measurements, education, engineering, science, construction, technology and business. Unit converters make it easier to change a measurement from one unit system to another without manually calculating conversion factors.
Whether you need to convert kilograms to pounds, meters to feet, liters to gallons, Celsius to Fahrenheit, kilometers per hour to miles per hour, PSI to bar, watts to kilowatts or GB to TB, Smart Unit Calc provides dedicated conversion tools for common measurement needs.
What Is Unit Conversion?
Unit conversion is the process of expressing the same physical quantity using a different measurement unit. The quantity does not change; only the numerical representation changes.
For example, one kilometer represents the same distance as 1,000 meters. Likewise, one kilogram is equivalent to approximately 2.20462 pounds. A unit converter applies the appropriate conversion relationship to produce the equivalent value.

Metric, SI, US Customary and Imperial Units
Unit conversion often involves different measurement systems. The metric system uses decimal scaling and includes SI units such as meters, kilograms and seconds. US customary and Imperial units include measurements such as feet, inches, miles, pounds, gallons and Fahrenheit.
Some units with similar names are not identical. For example, a US liquid gallon and an Imperial UK gallon have different volumes. Smart Unit Calc identifies important unit-system differences where they affect the conversion.
Unit Conversion for Engineering and Technical Work
Unit converters are useful for engineering calculations involving pressure, force, power, energy, speed, frequency, volume, area, mass and other physical quantities.
For professional engineering, construction and safety-critical applications, converted values should always be checked against the applicable project specifications, standards, manufacturer documentation and engineering calculations.
How to Use a Unit Converter
