Units Calculator

Convert
To
Reciprocal CGS:

The Fourmilab Units Calculator is based upon the GNU Units utility. It supports expressions in the “Convert” and “To” fields in the same syntax as described in the GNU Units manual. If the To field is left blank, the definition of the unit in the Convert field will be shown in terms of fundamental units. Entering “?” in the To field shows all standard units with the same dimensions as the expression in the Convert field. A total of 3460 linear units, 109 nonlinear units, and 109 prefixes are defined. The most common are listed below; clicking them copies the unit to the input field most recently clicked.

You can define your own units or save intermediate results by prefixing the expression in the Convert field with a variable name beginning with a capital letter followed by letters and numbers (for example “Orbit”). Definitions are shown in the light blue box, and may be used in either the Convert or To fields. Definitions are lost when you reload the page, but may be copied from the definitions box and pasted back later, then reloaded with the “Load” button.
