WORKSHOP QUICK REFERENCE

Engineering Unit
Converter.

Convert the engineering units that matter beside a machine, at the bench or while checking a drawing—without hunting through a generic converter.

Result1in

25.4 mm1 in

The international inch is exactly 25.4 mm.

ENGINEERING CATEGORIES

The units workshops use.

Choose a category to load compatible units. Force, mass and torque remain separate, and US and Imperial liquid measures are always identified.

CNC & MACHINING

Fast machine-side conversions.

Metric and imperial machining units stay separate from general velocity and dimensional categories, so the intended quantity is always clear.

Common Ra reference values

Ra is converted only between micrometres and microinches. It is not presented as a direct conversion to Rz.

ACCURACY & SAFE USE

Exact first. Rounded last.

116 unit entries across 24 compatible conversion groups are held in a separate structured registry so more engineering categories can be added cleanly.

01 · EXACT CONSTANTS

No rounded intermediate steps.

Defined constants such as 1 inch = exactly 25.4 mm and 1 pound = exactly 0.45359237 kg are retained at full precision. Rounding happens only when the result is displayed.

02 · TEMPERATURE

Offsets handled properly.

Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin use their correct affine transformations. They are not treated as ordinary multiplication-only units.

03 · CLEAR DISTINCTIONS

Similar names stay separate.

Pound mass is not pound-force. Mechanical hp is not metric PS. US gallons and GPM remain visibly separate from Imperial gallons and GPM.

04 · DEVICE-LOCAL

No account required.

Favourites and recent conversions stay in the browser on the current device. Shared URLs carry only the selected units and value.

Primary metrology references

Conversion constants and engineering unit definitions are based on recognised SI and NIST guidance. Where variants exist, the specific standard is named in the unit label.

Engineering reference

Confirm safety-critical, regulated, calibration or contractual calculations against the governing drawing, specification or current standard. The converter does not replace certified measurement or engineering judgement.
