Common questions
Are the conversions exact?
They use the standard defined factors, shown to up to 8 decimal places.
Can I convert between any two units?
Yes, choose any 'from' and 'to' unit; the table shows every unit at once.
Why does kilograms to pounds not look round?
The two systems were defined separately, so the factor is usually not a round number.
