Using the Unit of Measure Converter

Use this context application to convert a quantity from one unit of measurement (UOM) to another. You can convert UOMs for:

• Length
• Temperature
• Area
• Volume
• Speed
• Weight

You can also set up default conversion units, such as "from foot to meter" for length.

To use the UOM Converter:

1. Specify the Type of units to display.
2. Specify a value in Precision from 1 to 8 for the converted number.
3. Under From, in Value, type the number to convert.
4. Under From, from the Units drop-down list, select the base UOM.
5. Under To, from the Units drop-down list, select the UOM to which to convert. The converted number is displayed.
6. To clear the numbers, click Clear. Clicking Clear does not change the selected units.
7. Use the double-arrow Swap icon to the right to reverse the To and From units. Clicking this icon also clears the values.
