Encyclopedia > Conversion of units

Conversion of units refers to conversion factors between different units of measurement for the same quantity. The former Weights and Measures office in Middlesex, England. ... Quantity is a kind of property which exists as magnitude or multitude. ...

Techniques

Dimensioned values

Carrying units through a mathematical operation is sometimes performed.


e.g. to convert 6 feet into metres. From below one foot is exactly 0.3048 metre. Thus:

6 ft × 0.3048 m/ft = 1.8288 m

This leaves only metres, the desired result.


This works because the numerator and denominator describe the same quantity, the factor is equivalent to the number 1. Therefore, multiplication by this factor does not change the measured quantity, only its units.


Rounding of results

The process of making a conversion cannot produce a more precise result than the original quoted figure. Appropriate rounding of results is normally performed after conversion. (See significant figures). Rounding to n significant figures is a form of rounding. ...


In the above example the 0.3048 metre per foot is precise by definition, but the precision of the answer is determined by the precision of the 6 ft figure and in many cases the result would need rounding perhaps to 1.8 m.

Conversion of Units of Measurement (7803 words)
Conversion of units must be done explicitly by the programmer; this can be both burdensome and error-prone, since the conversion factors used by the programmer might be entered incorrectly or might have limited accuracy.
Unit conversion may also be required in preparing data for transmission to a remote site over a network, or for use in a remote procedure call.
Conversion of units may generate extra multiplication operations; however, if the compiler performs constant folding [aho], these operations and their conversion factors can often be combined with other constants.
Metric Conversion (1039 words)
Regulations on the use of metric units for WEIGHTS AND MEASURES in retail trade were established and enforced by the government for the protection of consumers and retailers against unfair practices and confusion in comparing products.
Opponents of metric conversion pointed to the costs at a time of inflation and economic weakness, the danger of being out of step with the US and the invasion of a foreign language of measurements upon a Canadian heritage bound to imperial measurements.
SI is simple because of its decimal nature and the absence of a multiplicity of units with conversion factors.
