Application Aims: Apples To Oranges Conversions In An Instant

Reviewer’s Comments
UnitConverter makes quick conversions of units of measure in a very wide variety of categories. There are the usual ones you’d expect such as distance, mass, temperature, time, volume and even computer storage. There are also a whole bunch of conversions that you likely wouldn’t expect like electrical charge and current, illumination, torque, viscosity, and radioactivity. Those may not be important in day-to-day life but would be critical and very handy for those in specific occupations.

 Conversions within a measurement system are available such as feet in a mile or grams in a kilogram. Cross system conversions are also easy to make such as yards in kilometer or liters per gallon. These can be particularly useful as the world becomes ever more homogenous and are musts for travelling internationally. All conversions are made the same way. Select the type of unit you’re converting such as distance or temperature. Then select the unit from which you’re converting and the quantity, and finally select the unit to which you’re converting. You also have the option of setting accuracy from zero to fifteen decimal points. Really huge or miniscule answers are displayed with exponential notation.

We tested a number of calculations for accuracy within the English and metric systems, Fahrenheit to Celsius temperature conversions, and a number of metric to English and vice versa conversions. Calculations were instantaneous and accurate.

UnitConverter proveed to be a useful tool for making measurement conversions that are frequently encountered. It’s easy to use and very quick. At a cost of $5.99 it’s well worth it’s price if you need to make these sorts of conversions.
