Length conversion

Description

A tool for converting between km, m, cm, mm, ft, in, mil, yd, mi, and nmi, commonly used in construction, engineering, navigation, and daily life.

This calculator converts length units between metric and imperial systems. Input any one value, and all others are automatically calculated. Ideal for international projects, cross-disciplinary work, and education.

Supported Units & Relationships

<
Unit Full Name Description Conversion
km Kilometer 1 km = 1000 m, used for long distances 1 km = 1000 m
m Meter SI base unit of length 1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm
cm Centimeter 1 cm = 0.01 m, used for small measurements 1 cm = 10 mm
mm Millimeter 1 mm = 0.001 m, used in precision machining 1 mm = 0.03937 in
ft Foot 1 ft = 12 in, used in construction 1 ft = 0.3048 m
in Inch 1 in = 25.4 mm, used for screen sizes 1 in = 2.54 cm
mil Thousandth of an inch 1 mil = 0.001 in, used for wire thickness 1 mil = 0.0254 mm
yd Yard 1 yd = 3 ft, used in sports fields 1 yd = 0.9144 m
mi Statute mile 1 mi = 5280 ft, used for road distances 1 mi = 1.60934 km
nmi Nautical mile 1 nmi = 1852 m, used in maritime navigation 1 nmi = 1.852 km

Key Conversion Formulas

1 km = 1000 m
1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 in = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm
1 yd = 3 ft = 0.9144 m
1 mi = 1.60934 km
1 nmi = 1852 m = 1.852 km
1 mil = 0.001 in = 0.0254 mm

Example Calculations

Example 1:
1 meter = ? inches → 100 cm ÷ 2.54 ≈ 39.37 inches

Example 2:
1 mile = ? kilometers → 1.60934 km

Example 3:
1 nautical mile = ? meters → 1852 meters

Example 4:
1 inch = ? millimeters → 25.4 mm

Example 5:
1 yard = ? feet → 3 feet

Example 6:
1000 mm = ? inches → 1000 × 0.03937 ≈ 39.37 inches

Example 7:
1 mil = ? millimeters → 0.0254 mm

Use Cases

  • Construction and civil engineering
  • Mechanical manufacturing and parts machining
  • Maritime and aviation navigation
  • International trade and logistics
  • Teaching and student learning
  • Daily life measurements (e.g., home renovation, shopping)

Ah-kWh conversion
Ah-kWh conversion
A web-based tool for converting battery capacity between Amp-hours (Ah) and Kilowatt-hours (kWh), ideal for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and solar power applications. This calculator helps users convert charge capacity (Ah) into energy (kWh), with clear explanations of key battery parameters for better understanding of battery performance and state. Parameter Definitions Parameter Description Capacity Battery capacity in Amp-hours (Ah) , indicating how much current the battery can deliver over time. Kilowatt-hours (kWh) is a unit of energy representing the total stored or delivered power. Formula: kWh = Ah × Voltage (V) ÷ 1000 Voltage (V) The electrical potential difference between two points, measured in volts (V). Essential for energy calculation. Depth of Discharge (DoD) The percentage of battery capacity that has been discharged relative to the total capacity. - Complementary to State of Charge (SoC): SoC + DoD = 100% - Can be expressed as % or in Ah - Actual capacity may exceed nominal, so DoD can go beyond 100% (e.g., up to 110%) State of Charge (SoC) The remaining battery charge as a percentage of total capacity. 0% = empty, 100% = full. Depleted Capacity The total amount of energy drawn from the battery, in kWh or Ah. Example Calculation Battery: 50 Ah, 48 V If Depth of Discharge (DoD) = 80% → Energy = 50 × 48 / 1000 = 2.4 kWh Depleted Energy = 2.4 × 80% = 1.92 kWh Use Cases Estimating EV driving range Designing home energy storage systems Calculating available energy in off-grid solar setups Analyzing battery cycle life and efficiency
