Metric and English Conversions
Metric, English, US Survey, British Imperial Units, Pre-metric and Ancient units are converted to one another. For the most requested units such as feet, inches, miles, meters, kilometers, etc there are categories of (general) to choose from. These will limit the number of selections available.
In addition to using the applet's interface, there is the ability to create tables of values using the edit fields below. For example, you can select feet in the source list and metric in the destination list. Then enter the incremental value and the size of the table in the edit boxes on this page and a table will be created of the values of the conversions.
We are still in development phase, as this is an ongoing project, so any comments about the units converted or units you would like to see converted are welcome. Send comments or suggestons to psinvention.com
