Template {{convert}} calculates measurements from one unit (you can enter) to another one, and then presents the results. For example:

{{convert|2|km|mi}} → 2 километр (1.2 mi)
{{convert|7|mi|km}} → 7 miles (11 км)

Units to convert

Enter units to convert:

  • {{convert|1|lb|kg}} → 1 pound (0.45 кg)
  • Units are listed below.

Unit name or symbol (abbreviation): 1 pound or 1 lb?

By default, the first value shows unit name spelled out, the second the symbol (or abbreviation). Use |abbr=on/off to change this behaviour:

  • {{convert|1|lb|kg}} → 1 pound (0.45 кg)

To abbreviate both:

  • {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 lb (0.45 кg)
  • {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}} → 1 pound (0.45 килоgrams)

|abbr=in is the reverse behaviour to the default, |abbr=out:

  • {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}} → 1 lb (0.45 килоgrams)

When using scientific notation, the default is for the second (converted) value to display with scientific notation:

  • {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km}} → 100 million miles (160×10^6 км)

To display thousands, millions, etc., while abbreviating both input and output units use |abbr=unit:

  • {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=unit}} → 100 million mi (160 million км)

Convenience: {{cvt}} has |abbr=on by default

Template {{cvt}} is similar to {{convert}}, but has |abbr=on as the default behaviour. In {{cvt}}, all other options are available. So:

{{cvt|1|lb|kg}} → 1 lb (0.45 кg)

is equal to:

{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 lb (0.45 кg)

Adjective: a 10-mile distance

Use |adj=on to produce the adjective form:

  • A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance → A 10-mile (16 км) distance.

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|10|mi|km}} to go → 10 miles (16 км) to go.

This option does not work with |abbr=on.

Rounding: 100 ft is 30 m or 30.5 m or 30.48 m?

By definition, 100 ft equals 30.48 м. In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities.

Default rounding

By {{Convert}} default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the same if the factor is between 0.2 and 2, is decreased by 1 if it is between 2 and 20, and so on) or to two significant figures, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is rounding temperatures (see below).

Examples of rounding
Input Displays as Note
{{convert|123|ft|m|-1}} 123 фут (40 м)
{{convert|123|ft|m}} 123 фут (37 м) same output as with 0 (below)
{{convert|123|ft|m|0}} 123 фут (37 м)
{{convert|123|ft|m|1}} 123 фут (37.5 м)
{{convert|123|ft|m|2}} 123 фут (37.49 м) exact value is 37.4904 m
{{convert|500|ft|m|-1}} 500 фут (150 м)
{{convert|500|ft|m}} 500 фут (150 м) same output as with -1 (above)
{{convert|500|ft|m|0}} 500 фут (152 м)
{{convert|500|ft|m|1}} 500 фут (152.4 м)
{{convert|500|ft|m|2}} 500 фут (152.40 м) exact value is 152.4 m

Convert supports four types of rounding:

Round to a given precision: use a precision number

Specify the desired precision with the fourth unnamed parameter (or third unnamed parameter if the "convert to" parameter is omitted; or fifth unnamed parameter if a range is specified; or fourth unnamed parameter again if a range is specified and the "convert to" parameter is omitted; needs to be replaced with a "precision" named parameter). The conversion is rounded off to the nearest multiple of 110 to the power of this number. For instance, if the result is 8621 and the round number is "-2", the result will be 8600. If the result is "234.0283043" and the round number is "0", the result will be 234.

Round to a given number of significant figures: |sigfig=

To specify the output number to be with n significant figures use |sigfig=<number>:

  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=4}} → 1,200 фут (365.8 м)
  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=3}} → 1,200 фут (366 м)
  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=2}} → 1,200 фут (370 м)
  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=1}} → 1,200 фут (400 м)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|1200|ft|m}} → 1,200 фут (370 м)

Setting |sigfig= is meaningless

  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=0}} → 1,200 фут (370 м)*

Round to a multiple of 5: 15, 20, 25, ...

Using |round=5 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 5.

  • {{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 метр (33 ft)
  • {{convert|10|m|ft|round=5}} → 10 метр (35 ft)

Similar: using |round=25 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 25.

  • {{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 метр (33 ft)
  • {{convert|10|m|ft|round=25}} → 10 метр (25 ft)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|10|m|ft|sigfig=4}} → 10 метр (32.81 ft)

In a range, one can round each value individually to the default. Use |round=each:

  • {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}} → 10 by 200 by 3,000 метр (33 ft × 656 ft × 9,843 ft)
  • {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}} → 10 by 200 by 3,000 метр (33 ft × 660 ft × 9,800 ft)

Round to a multiple of a given fraction: 2 316 inch

Specify the desired denominator using |frac=<some positive integer>. (Denominator is the below-the-slash number, for example the 3 in 13).

  • {{convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}} → 5.56 сантиметр (2 316 in)
  • {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}} → 8 сантиметр (3 14 in)

The fraction is reduced when possible:

  • {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}} → 8 сантиметр (3 320 in)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|8|cm|in}} → 8 сантиметр (3.150 in)

In temperatures: rounding °C, °F and K

In temperatures, the conversion will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value or to that which would give three significant figures when expressed in kelvins, whichever is more precise.

  1. {{convert|10,000|C|F K}} → 10,000 °C (18,000 °F; 10,300 K)
  2. {{convert|10,000.1|C|F K}} → 10,000.1 °C (18,032.2 °F; 10,273.2 K)
  3. {{convert|-272|C|F K}} → −272 °C (−457.60 °F; 1.15 K)
  4. {{convert|-272|C}} → −272 °C (−457.60 °F)
  5. {{convert|-300|C|F K}} → −300 °C (−508.0 °F; −26.9 K)
  6. {{convert|0|C|F K}} → 0 °C (32 °F; 273 K)

The precision of the input number in example (1) is one digit, but the precision of its Kelvins expression is three, so the precision of the Fahrenheit conversion is made three (made 180...) . (1) and (2) seem to belie the fact that a 0.1 degrees Celsius change is a 0.18 degrees Fahrenheit change, and make the 32 degrees difference shown in (1) begin to seem off somehow. Result (1) seems off until you set the significant figures yourself with |sigfig=:

{{convert|10000|C|sigfig=5}} → 10,000 °C (18,032 °F)

or you set the precision positionally, relative to the decimal point (zero being at the decimal point):

{{convert|10000|C|0}} → 10,000 °C (18,032 °F)

The precision of the input number in example (2) is six, so the precision of the Fahrenheit output is, whereas before, Kelvins had determined it to be three. Examples (3) and (4) show how this can be hidden and generate questions, but it occurs there because the Kelvins conversion generated two fractional parts. (Before it was the input number that generated the fractional part.) In example (3) the three input digits converted into five significant output digits because of the two digits after the decimal point, generated by the Kelvins conversion. This happened again in (5), but in (6) decimal fractions were neither given as input nor induced by the Kelvins conversion.

Into multiple units: 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)

Separate the multiple output units by a space:

  • {{convert|10|C|F K}} → 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)
  • {{convert|5|km|mi nmi}} → 5 километр (3.1 mi; 2.7 nmi)

If the output unit names contain spaces, use + as the separator.

Ranges of values

A range converts two values and separates them by your choice of words and punctuation.

A range: 6 to 17 kg (13 to 37 lb)

Range indicators are entered as the second parameter (between the values). Range separators can be:

Multiple dimensions: 6 м × 12 м (20 ft × 39 ft)

Use by:

  • {{convert|6|by|12|ft|m}} → 6 by 12 фут (1.8 by 3.7 м)

Use ×, multiplication sign, or x, letter:

  • {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft}} → 6 by 12 метр (20 ft × 39 ft)

In science, the formal way is to set |x| and |abbr=on (keeping dimensions right, like in area = x km2):

  • {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft|abbr=on}} → 6 м × 12 м (20 ft × 39 ft)

About feet, inch in ranges and multiples

While it is possible to enter feet, inch in a simple conversion, this is not possible for ranges:

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|1|ft|3|in|mm}} → 1 фут 3 дюйм (380 мм)

Words

Spelling of unit name: UK metre or US meter?

Default spelling of units is en-UK. To show en-US spelling, use |sp=us:

{{convert|1|m|ft}} → 1 метр (3.3 ft)—default
{{convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}} → 1 metre (3.3 ft)

Spell out numbers: ten miles

To write a number in words, use |spell=in:

  • {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=in}} → ten miles (16,000 м)

To spell out both in and out values, use |spell=on:

  • {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on}} → ten miles (sixteen thousand метр)

To make first letter a capital, use |spell=In, |spell=On

  • {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=In}} → Ten miles (16,000 м)
  • {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=On}} → Ten miles (sixteen thousand метр)

Remember that the spelling of the units (ft, m) is independently set by |abbr=. To the extreme:

  • {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on|abbr=off|sp=us}} → ten miles (sixteen thousand metres)

Inserted before units: 4 planted acres

  • {{convert|4|acre||adj=pre|planted}} → 4 planted acres (1.6 ha)

disp=preunit is similar, but has no separator after the specified text, and can have different text for the output value:

  • {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted }} → 4 planted acres (1.6 planted ha)
  • {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted |reforested-}} → 4 planted acres (1.6 reforested-ha)

After adjective unit: A 10-фут-long corridor

{{convert|10|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} → 10-фут-long (3.0 м)

Plurals: 1 inch, 2 inches

The unit symbol is singular always. Depending on the preceding number only, a unit name can be shown plural.

  • {{convert|1|metre}} → 1 метр (3 ft 3 in)
  • {{convert|2|metre}} → 2 метр (6 ft 7 in)
  • {{convert|2|metre|abbr=on}} → 2 м (6 ft 7 in)
Exception

Entering the unit spelled |foot| forces singular output "foot", whatever the number is.

  • {{convert|100|foot|abbr=off}} → 100 фут (30 метр)

Fractions: one-eighth of an imperial pint

The convert template also supports spelling out fractions.

  • {{convert|1/4|oz|g|spell=in}} → one-quarter ounce (7.1 g)

Any additional words needed for the fraction can also be added at the end of the template.

  • {{convert|1/8|imppt|mL|spell=in|adj=pre|of an}} → one-eighth of an imperial pint (71 мL)

Units can have an SI prefix like G before the unit: Gm, and giga before the name: gigameter. These are plain multiplication factors.

To illustrate, these are trivial calculations (from meter to meter), showing the multiplication factor:

  • 12 Гм (1.2×1010 м)
  • 12 мкм (1.2×10−5 м)

The prefix can be added before the SI unit (here: unit m for meter):

  • {{convert|12|Gm|mi|abbr=on}} → 12 Гм (7,500,000 mi)
  • Mm: 12 Мм (7,500 mi)
  • km: 12 км (39,000 ft)
  • mm: 12 мм (0.47 in)
  • μm: 12 мкм (0.012 мм)
  • um: 12 мкм (0.012 мм) (letter "u" can be used for "μ" here)

The prefix can be used in the output unit:

  • {{convert|12000|mi|Mm|abbr=on}} → 12,000 mi (19 Мм)
  • {{convert|12|in|μm|abbr=on}} → 12 in (300,000 мкм)

As an exception, the non-SI unit "inch" can have the "μ" prefix too)

  • {{convert|12|μm|μin|abbr=on}} → 12 мкм (470 µin)

Engineering notation: 7 × 106 m

In the unit: e6m

Engineering number notations like 7E6 (for 7 × 106) can be entered as a "prefix" to the unit:

  • {{convert|7|e6m}} → 7 million метр (23,000,000 ft)

The same is possible for the output unit:

  • {{convert|23,000,000|ft|e6m}} → 23,000,000 фут (7.0×10^6 м)

Any standard unit (not a combination, multiple, or built-in unit) can have such a prefix:

  • e3 (thousand),
  • e6 (million),
  • e9 (billion),
  • e12 (trillion),
  • e15 (quadrillion).

Scientific notation: 1.23×10−14

In scientific notation, a number is written like 0. The plain number has exactly one digit before the decimal point.

With {{convert}}, the input can be in e-notation such as 12.3e4. This value is displayed as a power of ten, and the output is displayed in scientific notation, except that an output value satisfying 0.01 <= v < 1000 is shown as a normal number. In addition, if the output value is 1000 and sigfig=4 is used, the value is displayed as a normal number.

  • {{convert|12.3e-15|atm|atm|abbr=on}} → 12.3×10−15 atm (1.23×10−14 atm)
  • {{convert|0.00000005|atm|atm|abbr=on}} → 0.00000005 atm (5.0×10−8 atm)

Input with fractions: 1 12 дюйм (38.1 мм)

The number to convert can be written in fractions. Both / (keyboard slash) and (fraction slash) are accepted:

  • {{convert|1/2|in|mm|1}}12 дюйм (12.7 мм)
  • {{convert|1⁄2|in|mm|1}}12 дюйм (12.7 мм)

With integers, use a + sign

  • {{convert|2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}}2 12 дюйм (63.5 мм)

When negative, use a hyphen - and repeat it:

  • {{convert|-2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}}−2 12 дюйм (−63.5 мм)
  • {{convert|2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → 2–12 дюйм (50.8–12.7 мм) Note: this is read as a range
  • {{convert|-2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}}[convert: invalid number] Red XN Should be a number, not an expression (do not require a calculation)

Output with horizontal fraction bar in: 1/2 inch

Using a double slash (//) returns a horizontal bar fraction:

  • {{convert|1//2|in|mm|1}}1/2 дюйм (12.7 мм)
  • {{convert|2+1//2|in|mm|1}}2 1/2 дюйм (63.5 мм)

Thousands separator: 1,000 mi or 1000 mi

In input, a comma for thousands separator is accepted but not required; a gap (space) is not accepted. In output, by default, the thousand separator is the comma:

  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 метр (4,050,417 ft)
  • {{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 метр (4,050,417 ft)
  • {{convert|1 234 567|m|ft}}[convert: invalid number] Red XN

Set |comma=off to remove the separator from the output:

  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=off}} → 1234567 метр (4050417 ft)

Use |comma=gaps to use digit grouping by gap (thin space) as a thousands separator:

  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}}1234567 метр (4050417 ft)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 метр (4,050,417 ft)

Setting |comma=5 or |comma=gaps5 will only add the separator when the number of digits is 5 or more:

  • {{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1234 метр (4049 ft)
  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1,234,567 метр (4,050,417 ft)
  • {{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=gaps5}}1234 метр (4049 ft)*
  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps5}}1234567 метр (4050417 ft)*

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|1234|m|ft}} → 1,234 метр (4,049 ft)

Output manipulation

Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]

Punctuation that distinguishes the two measurements is set by |disp=.
Options are: b (the default), sqbr, comma, or, br, x|…:

  • {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}} → 10 метр [33 ft]
  • {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}} → 10 метр, 33 ft
  • {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}} → 10 метр or 33 фут

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 метр (33 ft)

Setting |disp=br will force a new line (<br/>)

  • {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}} → 10 метр
    33 фут

Also |disp=br() will force a new line, and keep the brackets:

  • {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br()}} → 10 метр
    (33 фут)

Setting |disp=x|… allows any text as separator:

  • {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}} → 10 метр_MyText_33 ft—(To display spaces, use &nbsp;)

Flipping (reordering) the two measurements: 1,609.3 метр (1 mile)

Setting |order=flip will flip (swap) the two measurements:

  • {{convert|1|mi|m|order=flip}} → 1,609.3 метр (1 mile)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|1|mi|m}} → 1 mile (1,609.3 метр)

When converting to multiple units, the effect is:

  • {{convert|10|km|mi nmi|order=flip}} → 6.2137 miles; 5.3996 nautical miles (10 километр)
  • {{convert|10|km|nmi mi|order=flip}} → 5.3996 nautical miles; 6.2137 miles (10 километр)

  • {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~}} → 2 килоpascals [кPa] (0.29 psi)
  • A {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~|adj=on}} pressureA 2-килоpascal [кPa] (0.29 psi) pressure

Table options

For the wikitable structure, there are three options: add a line-break, split the result over columns and make the table sortable.

Enforced line break

|disp=br adds a line-break and omits brackets.

|disp=br() adds a line-break and does add brackets to the converted value. This may be useful in tables:

|disp=br |disp=br()
100 километр
62 miles
100 километр
(62 miles)

Table columns showing numbers only

Using {convert} in a table cell, with |disp=table splits the result over two columns:

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}}
style="text-align:right;"|10

|style="text-align:right;"|33

|disp=tablecen does the same, and also centers the text:

{{convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}}
style="text-align:center;"|20

|style="text-align:center;"|66

The units are added as a column header:

  m ft
|disp=table 10 33
|disp=tablecen 20 66
|disp=<other> (default) 30 метр (98 ft)

Sorting

Use |sortable=on to include a hidden numerical sortkey in the output, suitable for use in a table with sortable columns. Technically, this places a hidden string before the actual displayed values:

{{convert|10|m|ft|sortable=on}} → <span style="display:none">7001100000000000000</span>10 metres (33&nbsp;ft)

Use both |disp=table and |sortable=on together to produce table columns (pipe symbols) for each value in sortable columns:

m ft
A 15 34 52
B 15.5 51
C 16.0 52.5
D 16 52

The generated sortkey is calculated in a consistent way based on both the value and its unit as passed to the convert template. In most cases convert uses the passed value converted to SI base units. It is therefore not necessarily the displayed value or other alternate units and is calculated regardless of output format options. Using different units or different order of units in individual rows should therefore not lead to incorrect sorting, although variations in rounding can give surprising results, since an unrounded number is used for the sortkey.

Units

All units

The table below lists units supported by template {{convert}}. The list is not complete—more complete lists are linked for each dimension. A complete list is at the full list of units.

Explanation - unit codes

The {{convert}} template 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 given in column 3 of the following tables, and are accepted as input by the {{convert}} template as the second and third unnamed parameters. For example, {{convert|100|kg|lb}} produces "100 килоgrams (220 lb)" and {{convert|100|lb|kg}} produces "100 pounds (45 кg)"

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 lower-case f).

The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive, especially in cases like {{convert|100|Mm|mm}}, which produces "100 мегаметр (1.0×1011 мм)".

The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the | separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7. For example, {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}} produces "55 nautical miles (102 км; 63 mi)", and {{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}} produces "1 ounce (0.91 ozt; 28 g; 440 gr)".

dollars per pound $/lb "$" can mean US$, HK$, etc.

dollars per troy ounce $/ozt 12 troy ounces in 1 troy pound
  • (none)

'per' units: kg/hl

When using a slash (/), a unit like kg/hl is recognized as kilograms per hectolitre and will be converted with other mass/volume units.

  • {{convert|1000|kg/hl}} → 1,000 килоgrams per гектоlitre (1,600 oz/imp gal)

Units of difference: 10 °C higher; how much in °F

When a number is the measurement for a difference, one conversion is done. This may occur in temperatures (°C, °F, K). Compare this to a range, when two conversions are done.

The only available units of difference are: |C-change=, |F-change= and |K-change=.

  • {{convert|10|C}} → 10 °C (50 °F), regular temperature
  • {{convert|10|C-change}} → 10 °C (18 °F), difference (e.g., "The temperature changed from 30 into 40 °C")
  • {{convert|10-15|C}} → 10–15 °C (50–59 °F), range (e.g., "The temperature is between 10 and 15 °C")

Consistently, into multiple units:

  • A rise of {{convert|10|C-change|F-change K-change}} → A rise of 10 °C (18 °F; 10 K)

Multiple units: 1 ft 5 in

In input

Base document Шаблон:Slink lists options for multiple unit input (like ft,in). It can catch predefined sets only (units that can be subdivided; e.g., yd into ft):

  • {{convert|1|yd|2|ft|3|in}} → 1 yard 2 фут 3 дюйм (1.60 м)
  • {{convert|2|ft|3|in|cm}} → 2 фут 3 дюйм (69 см)
  • {{convert|1|lb|5|oz|g}} → 1 pound 5 ounces (600 g)

In output

Available multiple-unit output options predefined, like ftin and ydftin. The full list is at Шаблон:Slink.

  • {{convert|2|m|ftin}} → 2 метр (6 ft 7 in)
  • {{convert|2|m|ft in}} → 2 метр (6.6 ft; 79 in), using a space, returns the decimal point

Default behaviour, for comparison:

  • {{convert|2|m}} → 2 метр (6 ft 7 in)

See also:

  • {{hands}} a length used to measure horses
  • {{Long ton}} a weight in ton, cwt, qr and lb

Currency per unit: $/mi → $/km

Using currency symbols in a $ per unit value, you can convert the per-unit:

  • {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km}} → $10 per mile ($6.2/км)

You can set the currency in both values using |$=€:

  • {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km|$=€}} → €10 per mile (€6.2/км)

It is not possible to convert the currency. So, this result (mixed currencies) is not possible: $15 per mile (€8.6/km) Red XN
