How this is calculated
Every unit is stored as a factor relative to a single SI base unit for its measurement type — metres for length, kilograms for weight, square metres for area and cubic metres for volume. Converting is a two-step multiplication.
result = value × factor(from) ÷ factor(to)
Temperature is handled separately because the scales have different zero points, so a simple ratio does not work. Celsius is the pivot scale:
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9 | °F = °C × 9/5 + 32 | K = °C + 273.15
The factors used here are the internationally agreed exact definitions: 1 inch is exactly 25.4 mm, 1 pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg, and 1 US gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches. Results are shown to four decimal places so that small dimensions such as fastener sizes stay readable, and a rounded two-decimal figure is provided for shop drawings and cut lists.
