Atomic mass units
The “Atomic mass units” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.
grams = u × 1.66053906660 × 10⁻²⁴. (1 u = 1.66053906660 × 10⁻²⁷ kg.)
Daltons (u) are how chemists weigh atoms. Carbon-12 is defined as 12 u. The gram is 6.022 × 10²³ of those, which is why a mole of carbon is 12 g. This page is for lab sheets, not grocery bags.

- BMI Metric and ImperialBMI = kg / m² = 703 × lb / in². Same index, two unit systems. It does not know muscle, bone, or why a powerlifter and a couch get the same number. Categories are public-health bins, not a diagnosis.
- Carats to GramsA metric carat is 0.2 g, defined in 1907 so jewelers would stop arguing. A 1 ct diamond is 0.2 g — the size you see is cut, not this mass. Gold “karat” (purity) is a different word on purpose.
- Mass Flow to Volume FlowQ = ṁ / ρ. Water near 1,000 kg/m³: 1 kg/s is 1 L/s. Air at 1.2 kg/m³ needs a much larger duct for the same kilograms. Compressible flow at high Mach is not this equation.
- Moles to GramsMass = moles × molar mass. Water is 18.015 g/mol, NaCl 58.44. The bottle’s formula weight is the one that counts, not a memory from first-year chemistry.
- SI Gram Prefix ConverterMass prefixes attach to the gram, not the kilogram. Kilogram is already kilo + gram. Scale yottagram down to yoctogram, or milligram to microgram, without mixing in pounds. Jewelry carats and troy ounces are separate legal pages.
- Slugs to KilogramsUS customary dynamics: a slug is the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² when you push with 1 lbf. It is about 14.59 kg. If your textbook mixes slugs and pounds-mass, this page is the adult in the room.

Unit Converters
A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.
