- Cubic Inches to Cubic CentimetersEngine displacement: a “350” small-block is 350 in³, about 5.7 L (5,735 cc). Multiply in³ by 16.387. One liter is 1,000 cm³. This is why 5.0 L and 302 in³ show up on the same valve cover.
- Chains to MetersGunter’s chain is 66 feet, which is 20.1168 m. Survey plats, cricket pitches (22 yards = 1 chain), and some railroad descriptions still use it. 80 chains make a mile. This is not an engineer’s 100 ft chain.
- Feet to MetersUS 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.
- ft/s to m/sMultiply ft/s by 0.3048. Ballistics and old US textbooks love ft/s. 88 ft/s is 60 mph, which is 26.82 m/s. A 3,000 ft/s muzzle velocity is 914 m/s.
- Meters to FeetBuilding codes in meters, US listings in feet. Multiply meters by 3.28084. A 3 m ceiling is 9.84 ft, not “10 feet” unless you are rounding for a Facebook comment.
- Rods to MetersA rod (also perch or pole) is 16.5 ft = 5.0292 m. Four rods make a chain. Old US deeds stack rods, chains, and furlongs. If the deed says poles, it is this unit unless a local statute says otherwise.

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.

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.
