Engineer's Unit Converter
Read full descriptionHide full description
A unit converter built for engineering work rather than for the kitchen. Thirty-two categories, from the everyday ones to the specialist tables you normally go looking for in a handbook: AWG wire gauge, tons of refrigeration, viscosity, water hardness, radiation dose, moment of inertia. EVERY CATEGORY, ALL FREE Length, Area, Pressure/Stress, Mass/Weight, Energy/Work, Power, Force, Torque, Volume, Temperature, Time, Speed, Angle, Data, Frequency, Fuel Economy, Density, Flow, Viscosity, Acceleration, Electric Current, Voltage, Resistance, Electric Charge, Magnetic Flux Density, HVAC Cooling, Water Hardness, Radiation Activity, Radiation Dose, Radiation Equivalent Dose, Moment of Inertia, Wire Gauge. No unlocks, no ad to watch first, no timer. Every category above is open the moment you install. ENGINEERING TOOLS An expression calculator that accepts arithmetic, fractions and scientific notation, so you can type 3/8 or 1.2e-3 straight into the field. An HVAC sizing helper that turns tons of refrigeration into BTU/h, kW and rule-of-thumb airflow. Reference tables for physical constants, thermocouple types and hardness scales. BUILT FOR THE JOB Works fully offline, so it does not care about signal on site. Reads decimal commas and points the way your region writes them. Pin the units you use, hide the ones you never touch, and reorder the rest. Add your own units with a conversion factor. Every conversion is kept in a searchable history you can tap to reuse. No account, no sign-in, no data leaves the device.
