SI Converter Info/Help
This information has been developed by Lou Gervais. Many publications and
resources have been used to develop this conversion tool. All attempts have
been made to ensure the most complete and accurate information available but
is provided as is without limitations or
implied warranty.
This tool handles more than 830 different conversions of various SI units of
measurements that include length, weight, volume, temperature and the conversion of
Binary, Decimal, Hex and Octal with full support of fractional numbers. It also supports
both positive and negative numbers from the user with selecTABLE range of precision
from 1 to 32 digits except for the Binary-Decimal-Hex-and Octal functions.
SI units and standard abbreviations have been used both to save space and support
international standards. Please be advised that as of this release the internal functions
of JavaScript are still limited to 16 digits of precision. This conversion tool may be
updated from time to time to add additional conversion units or updates.
