From inches to kilometers, pints to liters, pounds per square inch to newtons and beyond, Wolfram|Alpha is the world's most extensive and accurate unit converter. Convert between thousands of common (and obscure) units of measurement drawn from a huge variety of different unit systems, including the US customary system, the metric SI system and many historical systems used throughout the world. As an added bonus, view comparisons to everyday unit scales, observe corresponding values when converted to related physical quantities, find physical quantities to which given units belong and get a feel for unit scales using graphical order of magnitude charts.
