Units Converter Applet

This JAVA applet does conversions between units. To use it:

  1. Select the category of units you want to convert with the pop-up menu near the top.
  2. Enter a number into any specific units field and click the "Convert" button.
  3. All other fields will be filled with the equivalent amount in the other possible units.
  4. The first field in each category (in bold blue) has the corresponding SI units.

If the applet does not automatically load and run, your browser may be lacking sufficient Java support. There is also a Java Application version of this utility available on the Computer software web page that is deployed using the Java Web Start technology and does not require any browser support.

For most conversion factors used here (and usually more) listed by categories of units, refer to the Categories of Units section of the Dictionary of Units web site.
