๐ Unit Convert Guide
Unit mistakes that kill foreign trade margins
Mixing imperial and metric units is a classic source of profit-destroying errors: treating an inch as a centimeter is a 154% error, and quoting lb as kg understates weight by 55%. This converter covers length (mm/cm/m/in/ft/yd), weight (g/kg/t/lb/oz/ct), volume (CBM/CFT/L/gal), area (mยฒ/ftยฒ/inยฒ) and temperature.
Quick reference: 1 in = 2.54 cm; 1 ft = 30.48 cm; 1 lb = 0.4536 kg; 1 oz = 28.35 g; 1 CFT = 0.0283 CBM. Quote cartons in both systems, e.g. "60ร40ร40 cm (23.6ร15.7ร15.7 in)".
Reading fractional inches
Imperial specs often use fractions: 3/8" reads "three eighths of an inch" and equals 9.525 mm. Entering 0.375 in the tool gives the exact metric equivalent.
