Conversion Center
Search a unit
Frequently asked questions :
Q: How this web page works ?
A: Go to the main page and select your input unit that you want to convert.
If you cannot find your desired source unit use the '...more' or 'Maximize menu' options.
Now in the next page select your destination unit.
Fill the form with your input unit value and just hit the 'Convert' button.
Q: Can i use real numbers as input unit values instead of integers ?
A: Yes just use the '.' instead of the ',' as decimal separator.
So for example write 1.5 instead of 1,5.
Q: Can i use the exponential notation ?
A: Yes, the exponential notation lets you move the decimal point in a number.
By using this notation you can simplify numbers by getting rid of zeros.
So in order to write 5000 (5*103) you only have to write 5E3.
Same thing if you want to write the value 0.007 (7*10-3) just write 7E-3.
Q: Can i isolate my favorite conversion ?
A: Yes. Just bookmark your favorite conversion form.
Ex : If you just want to convert kilometers to meters then bookmark the link :
"http://www.conversioncenter.net/index.php?category=length&from=kilometers&to=meters"
Q: What is the share button at the top right of each page ?
A: The share button lets you share each link of our web site in social networks or in public bookmark services. For example if you are registered at delicious.com by clicking on the delicious image you can share the link (ex. a custom conversion) with your friends. The share button also allows you to email, bookmark and print each page of our website.
Q: How often the currencies and the other market quotes are updated ?
A: All of them are updated once a day, every day around the 11am MST.
The aim of the conversion center is to offer a rough estimation, so this web page does not offer real time currency conversions.
Q: Why this web site is simple and ugly ?
A: Conversion center is an accessible web site.
It is W3C compatible and the contrast between the colors is good for people which suffer from Protanopia, Deuteranopia or Tritanope.
With a maximum of three clicks (worst case for unpopular conversions) you can reach the desired conversion form. The simple layout of the page offer faster speeds too.
So simplicity for us mean : accessibility, navigability and usability.
Q: What is the quick menu located at the bottom right of the page ?
A: When you select a category with more than 19 items then you should get the quick menu which will help you to locate the unit you want to use. So for example if you want to convert kilometers to meters hit from the length category the "K" and you will jump to the kilometer option. In the next page, again with the use of the quick menu, by hitting the "M" you will jump to the unit names that start with the letter M.
Q: Can i search a unit ?
A: Yes just use the search box at the top right of each page. Remember that all search results can be bookmarked or shared with the share button. So for example if you want to find all the russian units offered from this site write russian in the search box and hit the search button. The same result you can obtain by bookmarking the link :
"http://www.conversioncenter.net/search.php?searchvalue=russian"
Q: How can i find a unit that i can not remember exactly it's name ?
A: Lets say you want to find the unit "fahrenheit" but you do not remember it's exact name. By writing "renhe" you will be able to find the match you want within the given results.
Q: What is the meaning of the site version ?
A: The first number is the version of the theme and the model motor that the website uses.
The second number is the amout of the categories added and the third number is the number of the units already added on the website engine.
So for example the site version 1.8.183 simply means that we have the version one of the theme with eight categories and we have 183 units already added.
