Frequently asked questions
What units does Unit Converter accept?
Both metric and imperial — switch with a single toggle. Internal arithmetic happens in a consistent base regardless of which unit you type.

Why does the result include a range, not just one number?
Because a single number rarely answers a real-world question. Unit Converter provides the calculation plus the context needed to interpret it.
Is Unit Converter accurate?
Yes — it implements the standard, published formula. The numerical output matches what any reputable reference calculator would produce.
