Same quantity, different words

Exact Not rounded, not measured — that is the definition of a pound, agreed in 1959. Every factor on this site is sourced the same way, and pages say when a figure is exact.

Why another converter

Most conversion sites give you a number and nothing else. This one shows the arithmetic, marks which factors are exact by definition, and refuses to pretend that a US gallon and an Imperial gallon are the same thing. Where a conversion has a trap in it — the three different tons, megabytes against mebibytes, miles per gallon running backwards — the page explains the trap instead of averaging it away.
