Unit of Measure Conversions

Welcome to UniCon

This latest version (3.6) was released in September 2023.

The site performs simple unit conversions, for example switching between acres and hectares, Fahrenheit and Celsius, feet and metres, tons and tonnes and between miles/hour and metres/second.

Conversions in the following categories are available:

• Aircraft (fuelling)
• Area
• Astronomy (distances)
• Capacity (fluid)
• Consumption (fuel)

• Density
• Flow (rate)
• Force
• Geometry (angles)
• Length

• Mass (weight)
• Power
• Pressure
• Temperature (scales)
• Time

• Torque
• Typeface (size)
• Velocity (speed)
• Volume
• Work (energy)

Additional Features

The site also includes:

• Some formulae, including those for calculating:
  • The circumference, area and volume of common geometric shapes
  • Combinations and Permutations
  • Distance, velocity and acceleration (the classical Equations of Motion)
  • Projectile trajectories
  • The swing of a simple pendulum
• A prime number generator and checker
• A random number generator that can also be used to create numbers for various UK lotteries
• Some useful numbers and approximations, including:
  • Physics and maths constants
  • SI number size prefixes
• Some definitions and a few numerical hints and tips
• A simple and easy-to-use arithmetic calculator
• An Easter Sunday calculator and an elapsed time calculator, accessed from the time conversions page
• A collection of interesting but unrelated items, including:

  • Number representation in barcodes
  • Paper and envelope sizes
  • The accuracy of common map scales
  • Beaufort's scale of wind force
  • Mohs scale of mineral hardness
  • A simple study of how a population might change over time, guided by a set of rules. Both the population pattern on the game board, and the rules that govern how the population changes at each step, are under the full control of the user.
