- Kilograms to PoundsBody weight, luggage, and gym plates: kg on the passport, pounds on the US scale. Multiply kg by 2.20462. A 23 kg bag is 50.7 lb — over many airline “50 lb” stickers if you packed to the kg limit.
- 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.
- 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.
- Long Tons to PoundsA British long ton is 2,240 lb (20 hundredweight). Ships and old coal invoices use it. A US short ton is 2,000 lb. If a UK document says “ton” it might be this one — 240 lb of difference per ton.
- 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.
- Metric Tons to KilogramsA metric ton (tonne) is 1,000 kg. Shipping, carbon, and grain use it. It is not a US short ton (2,000 lb) or a UK long ton (2,240 lb). If the bill of lading says “ton” without “metric,” ask.

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.
