Unit conversion guides
The reasoning behind the numbers: eight practical guides, one per specialist field, each linking straight to the converters it covers.
-
Converting engineering units: torque, density, and rotational motion
Torque wrenches, motor datasheets, and materials tables all lean on units that rarely show up anywhere else. Here is how to move between them without guessing.

Thermal unit conversions: insulation, conductivity, and heat transfer
Insulation ratings, HVAC specs, and materials datasheets each use a different corner of the same thermal-unit family. Here is how the pieces fit together.

-
Fluid unit conversions: flow rate, viscosity, and concentration
Plumbing flow rates, engine oil grades, and lab concentrations all sit in the same family of fluid units. Here is how to move between them with confidence.

Photometry unit conversions: lux, lumens, and display resolution
Camera settings, lighting designs, and display specs each borrow from the same small set of photometric units. Here is what they mean and how they relate.

-
Electrical unit conversions: current, resistance, and capacitance
Resistor codes, battery ratings, and circuit calculations lean on a wide family of electrical units. Here is how the pieces connect.

Magnetic unit conversions: gauss, tesla, and field strength
Magnet specs, MRI machines, and speaker datasheets mix two entirely different unit systems. Here is how gauss, tesla, and the rest fit together.

Radiation unit conversions: sievert, gray, and becquerel explained
Radiation dose is reported in at least four different units depending on the country and the era of the source. Here is what each one measures and how they relate.

The conversions you look up once a year: cooking, pace, sound, and more
Not every useful conversion fits a tidy category. Here is the practical reasoning behind ten conversions people search for a few times a year and never quite remember.
