Units and Measurements Converting Tool, Absolutely Free Download

Preface

I remember my good old days as a construction engineering student struggling to standardize the units and measurements of weights, areas, volumes, lengths, speed, power, mass and so on to SI units (International System of Units) though I was equipped with a scientific calculator. Moreover, I was an average student in math. I found it tough to perform those calculations instantly mentally. The only other alternative than memorizing those conversions, especially those metric conversions with umpteen zeros, is to carry the printed standard tables along with me.

Convert

Thus I used to have a wish on those days to have a calculator-like tool that would do the job for me with just the strike of a few buttons or a few clicks on the mouse. Surprisingly I got that dream realized today when my brother forwarded me a units and measurements converting tool “Convert” as an email attachment. It’s just a cool little toy with which you can convert almost all the units that you need in your daily routines instantly. What he mailed was an outdated version of 1996. After googling, I was able to trace out the current version, its free download location and the author’s site.

What is it?

Convert is a free and easy to use unit conversion program. It will convert the most popular units of force, light, mass, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, volume, acceleration, angle, area, density, distance, flow, energy, and many others, including the ability to create custom conversions! No registration needed. Neither a malware nor a spyware.

How can it be used?

The best thing I liked with it is that there is no need to install it on my computer. It’s just an exe file. If I don’t need it, just give a shift+delete. An installable version is also available. It is compatible with Windows operating systems from Windows 95 onwards and Linux/Unix or anything that runs WineHQ.

Convert is being used in 105 countries right now and even at NASA agencies. Consequently, it is also being used by astronauts on the International Space Station! However, it is still missing some units like radiological conversions and micro units like milli, micro, nano, etc., in some units and macro units like kilo, mega, giga etc. But still okay to a great extent with the available version. It should be useful for students and teachers alike who have to meddle with units and measurement conversion in daily lives.
