Unit Converter Guide: Length, Weight, Temperature
By Dheeraj Yadav • July 19, 2026 • 1 min read
Why Unit Conversion Matters
India officially uses the metric system, but imperial units still appear everywhere — product dimensions in inches, weight in pounds on imported goods, temperatures in Fahrenheit in global weather apps. Knowing how to convert quickly is a practical skill.
Length Conversions
1 metre = 100 cm = 3.281 feet = 39.37 inches. 1 kilometre = 0.621 miles. 1 inch = 2.54 cm (exact). Construction in India uses feet and inches; land is measured in square feet, square metres, acres, or guntha depending on the region.
Weight Conversions
1 kilogram = 1000 grams = 2.205 pounds = 35.27 ounces. 1 metric tonne = 1000 kg. For gold and jewellery, 1 tola = 11.66 grams (traditional Indian unit).
Temperature Conversions
°F to °C: (°F - 32) × 5/9. °C to °F: (°C × 9/5) + 32. Water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and boils at 100°C (212°F). Human body temperature is 37°C (98.6°F).
