From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The table below lists units supported by {{convert}}. More complete lists are linked for each dimension. For a complete list of all dimensions, see full list of units.
{{Convert}} uses unit-codes, which are similar to, but not necessarily exactly the same as, the usual written abbreviation for a given unit. These unit-codes are displayed in column 3 of the following tables. These are accepted as input by {{convert}} as the second and third unnamed parameters:
{{convert|100|kg|lb}}
→ 100 kilograms (220 lb)
{{convert|100|lb|kg}}
→ 100 pounds (45 kg)
The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive:
{{convert|100|Mm|mm}}
→ 100 megametres (1.0×1011 mm)
The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7.
{{convert|55|nmi|km mi}}
→ 55 nautical miles (102 km; 63 mi)
{{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}}
→ 1 ounce (0.91 ozt; 28 g; 440 gr)
Some units have alternative unit-codes. These are shown in brackets in column 3, e.g. °F
(F
). Either may be entered for Fahrenheit (but not a lower-case f).
