UNITS-Conversion Program

The metric system is a system of weights and measures based on the principle that each quantity should have one unit whose multiples and sub-multiples are all derived by multiplying or dividing by powers of ten. This simplifies units conversion, and eliminates completely the complicated tables of weights and measures found in the traditional British measuring system.
We all know that conversion from American units into metric units and also conversion from metric units into American units may be a bit tricky. The metric system is the basis for Système International d’Unités (SI), the modern system of units used in science and technology, and increasingly in trade and commerce.
The SI system comprises only seven (7) basic units; metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela. There are also two supplementary units; radian, steradian and a number of derived units like; becquerel, coulomb, degree celsius, farad, gray, henry, hertz, joule, lumen, lux, newton, ohm, pascal, siemens, sievert, tesla, volt, watt, weber.

You can get accurate conversions between any measuring units with The Units-Conversion Program. It supplies a large number of unit-conversion possibilities in 48 categories. Just double-click a measuring units category to open a new window that shows all of the available units. Click on the unit you want to convert, then enter a value to instantly perform the conversion. You can choose between scientific and fixed point formats and quickly copy the desired conversion unit to the Clipboard.

Download the latest version the Units-Conversion Program, unzip it and run the setup-file, then you will get the following categories of measuring-units:

Accuracy is an important concern with measuring units-conversion. The units in this program are, as far as practical, derived directly from the Basic Conversion Factors and calculated with a precision of twenty significant figures. You can choose between two different ways of displaying values:
Fixed point format: The number of decimals in the result will be the same as you have entered, but never less than three.
Example: 1 lb.= 0.454 kg, but 1.00000 lb.= 0.45359 kg

Scientific format:All available figures are displayed.
Example: 1 lb.= 4.53592370000000000E-001 kg

You may use the program freely. The keyword for the program is 1.41421356
It is a number; if you use another decimal separator just change the point.
