Question 1

How accurate are the conversions?

Accepted Answer

Our unit converter uses standard conversion factors and calculates with high precision. For most everyday purposes, the results are more than accurate enough. For scientific or engineering work requiring extreme precision, always verify with official standards.

Question 2

Does the converter handle imperial and metric units?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our converter fully supports both imperial and metric units, as well as conversions between the two systems. This includes all common units like inches, feet, meters, miles, kilometers, pounds, kilograms, etc.

Question 3

Can I convert between different types of units?

Accepted Answer

No, you can only convert between units of the same type (e.g., length to length, weight to weight). You cannot convert directly from, for example, length to weight, as these measure different physical quantities.

Question 4

Are U.S. and imperial gallons the same?

Accepted Answer

No, they're slightly different. A U.S. gallon is about 3.785 liters, while an imperial (UK) gallon is about 4.546 liters. Our converter distinguishes between these different units.

Question 5

What's the difference between mass and weight?

Accepted Answer

Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, while weight is the force exerted on that mass due to gravity. On Earth, we often use these terms interchangeably, but they're different physical quantities. Our converter includes units for both.
