NationMaster - 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.
