Conversion Data

Author's Web: http://home.bitworks.co.nz/trivia/data.htm

While deciding whether to convert the trivia to a standard form of measure, I discovered there was so many unusual or 'useless' units of measure that this page was warranted. All trivia has been left in a native format, but all necessary conversions have been included to convert Metric to Imperial (UK and US) and Imperial to Metric.
