		Convert between metric and English units using a metric conversion table. This page features tables for converting between metric system units and corresponding English units commonly used in the United States.  Here you will find convenient conversion tables for length, area, volume, weight, pressure, energy, and temperature units.  Conversion table calculations show approximately three (3) significant figures. Length Conversion Metric length units include the meter, the kilometer (1,000 meters), the decimeter (0.1 meters), the centimeter (0.01 meters), the millimeter (0.001 meters), the micron (0.000001 meters), the nanometer (0.000000001 or 1e-9 meters), and the angstrom (0.0000000001 or 1e-10 meters). British and American length units include the foot, the yard (3 feet), the furlong (660 feet), the mile (5,280 feet), the league (15,840 feet), and the inch (1/12th foot).   Length Conversion Table Metric Units English Units Kilometers Meters Millimeters Inches Feet Yards Miles 1 1,000 1,000,000 39,370 3,281 1,094 0.6214 0.001 1 1,000 39.37 3.281 1.094 0.0006214 0.000001 0.001 1 0.03937 0.003281 0.001094 6.214e-7   0.0000254 0.0254 25.4 1 0.08333 0.02778 0.00001578 0.0003048 0.3048 304.8 12 1 0.3333 0.0001894 0.0009144 0.9144 914.4 36 3 1 0.0005682 1.609 1,609 1,609,000 63,360 5,280 1,760 1 Length Unit Conversion Calculator Kilometers Meters Millimeters Inches Feet Yards Miles See also Metric Distance Unit Conversions.

Energy Conversion Metric energy units include the joule, the kilojoule (1000 joules), and the megajoule (1000000 joules). The energy units commonly used in the USA include the calorie and the British Thermal Unit (BTU).  A calorie is commonly defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.  However, the energy needed for this task depends on the water's starting temperature.  The thermochemical calorie is defined as exactly 4.184 joules, but several other, slightly different definitions exist as well.  One calorie is equivalent to 3.088 foot-pounds; one BTU is equivalent to 252 calories.  Using this latter definition, one calorie is equal to 4.187 joules.   Energy Conversion Table Metric Units English Units Joules Calories BTUs 1 0.2388 0.0009478   4.187 1 0.003968 1055 252 1 Energy Unit Conversion Calculator Joules Calories BTUs See also Metric Energy Unit Conversions. Temperature Conversion Metric temperature units include degrees Celsius and degrees Kelvin (degrees Celsius plus 273.1).  At sea level, the freezing temperature of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. The temperature unit commonly used in the USA is Fahrenheit.  At sea level, the freezing temperature of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.   Temperature Conversion Table Metric Units English Units Celsius Kelvin Fahrenheit -273.1 0 -459.7 -50 223.1 -58 -40 233.1 -40 -30 243.1 -22 -20 253.1 -4 -10 263.1 14 0 273.1 32 10 283.1 50 20 293.1 68 30 303.1 86 40 313.1 104 50 323.1 122 100 373.1 212 See also Metric Temperature Unit Conversions.
