- 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.
- 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.
- Miles to kg CO₂Default 0.404 kg/mile is a US EPA passenger-car average. Your truck is higher; a full EV is the grid’s carbon, not zero. This is tailpipe-style accounting for a planning conversation, not an offset invoice.
- Pounds to KilogramsUS body weight and barbell math into the kg plates the rest of the gym already uses. Divide pounds by 2.20462. 150 lb is 68.0 kg, not “70 kg unless you are rounding for a form.”
- Acres to HectaresUS farm ads in acres, EU paperwork in hectares. Divide acres by 2.471. Ten acres is 4.05 ha. A 160-acre quarter-section is 64.7 ha.

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.
