How it works

Most modes multiply by a source factor to reach a family base unit and divide by the destination factor. Temperature also applies offsets, fuel economy is reciprocal, and the currency mode uses stored rates rather than a live market feed.

  • The selected mode controls its initial source and destination units.
  • Query parameters reproduce a mode on the canonical page without creating a separate indexed conversion page.

Worked example

Decimal and binary storage units differ
Input
											Value: 1
From: GiB
To: GB
Output
												1.073741824 GB

When to use this

Engineering notes normalize pressure and energy, plans change length and volume units, and storage estimates distinguish GB from GiB.

Edge cases

  • Arithmetic can display an absolute temperature below 0 K even though it has no physical meaning.
  • Currency output is not a quote because its stored factors have no live timestamp.
  • A value cannot cross measurement families; both units stay within the selected mode.
