Template:Convert

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

For currency conversion into US dollars, see Template:To USD

Template {{convert}} calculates from one measurement unit to another one, and then presents the results formatted. The complete list of unit symbols recognized by the template is at Module:Convert/documentation/conversion data.

For example:

{{convert|2|km|mi}} → Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} (km entered, so converted into mile)

{{convert|7|mi|km}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} (mi entered, so converted into km)

Numbers can be rounded, units can be abbreviated into symbols:

{{convert|2|km|mi|2|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

{{convert|7|mi|km|2|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Value ranges can be entered using |to|... or |-|...:

{{convert|2|to|5|km|mi}} → Template:Convert/to{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

{{convert|2|-|5|km|mi}} → Template:Convert/-{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Combined effect example:

{{convert|2|-|5|km|mi|2|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/-{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

{{convert|2|and|5|km|mi|sigfig=3|abbr=off}} → Template:Convert/and{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

See Help:Convert for more detailed, technical information

Units to convert

See also: the summary at Complete list of units for {{Convert}} and the complete list at Module:Convert/documentation/conversion data

Enter units to convert from into:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg}} → Template:Convert/lb{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

SI units generally accept prefixes, like "m" for milli (10⁻³), and "M" for mega (10⁶)

For "per" units, use "/" (slash): kg/ha

For three-unit units, etc., see Category:Convert-like templates

Unit name or symbol (abbreviation): 1 pound or 1 lb?

By default, the first quantity shows the unit name, the second shows the symbol (or abbreviation):

• {{convert|1|lb|kg}} → Template:Convert/lb{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Using |abbr=in is the reverse behaviour to the default:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}} → Template:Convert/lb{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

To abbreviate both or neither:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/lb{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}} → Template:Convert/lb{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Convenience: {{cvt}} has |abbr=on by default

Template {{cvt}} is the same as {{convert}}, except that it has |abbr=on as the default behaviour. In {{cvt}}, all other options are available. So:

{{cvt|1|lb|kg}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)

is equivalent to:

{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)

Adjective: a 10-mile distance

Use |adj=on to produce the adjectival (hyphenated) form:

• A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance → A Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} distance.

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|mi|km}} to go → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} to go.

|adj=on does not produce hyphens with unit symbols, as per Manual of Style:

• A {{convert|9|in|cm|adj=on|abbr=on}} nail → A Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} nail.

Rounding: 100 ft is 30 m or 30.5 m or 30.48 m?

See Help:Convert § Rounding for a more mathematical description of the rounding options

By definition, 100 ft equals Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:out|number|output number only=|}}. In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities.

Default rounding

By {{Convert}} default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the same if the factor is between 0.2 and 2, is decreased by 1 if it is between 2 and 20, and so on) or to two significant digits, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is rounding temperatures (see below).

Examples of rounding
Input	Displays as	Note
{{convert|123|ft|m|-1}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
{{convert|123|ft|m}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}	same output as with 0 (below)
{{convert|123|ft|m|0}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
{{convert|123|ft|m|1}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
{{convert|123|ft|m|2}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}	The more-exact value is 37.4904 m or so, which gets converted to 37 m if this parameter is not specified at all.
{{convert|500|ft|m|-1}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
{{convert|500|ft|m}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}	same output as with −1 (above), because the conversion factor is between 0.2 and 2 (hence, it should produce same double-zero precision (−2) as in the input value), but the conversion must produce two significant digits at a minimum (hence, a higher single-zero precision (−1) is used)
{{convert|500|ft|m|0}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
{{convert|500|ft|m|1}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
{{convert|500|ft|m|2}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}	exact value is 152.4 m
{{convert|500|ft|cm|-3}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
{{convert|500|ft|cm}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}	same output as with −3 (above), because the conversion factor is between 20 and 200 (hence, it should decrease input value's double-zero precision (−2) by 2), but the conversion must produce two significant digits at a minimum (hence, a higher triple-zero precision (−3) is used)
{{convert|500|ft|cm|0}}	Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Convert supports four types of rounding:

Round to a given precision: use a precision number

Specify the desired precision with the fourth unnamed parameter (or third unnamed parameter if the "convert to" parameter is omitted; or fifth unnamed parameter if a range is specified; or fourth unnamed parameter again if a range is specified and the "convert to" parameter is omitted; needs to be replaced with a "precision" named parameter). The conversion is rounded off to the nearest multiple of ​¹⁄₁₀ to the power of this number. For instance, if the result is 8621 and the round number is "-2", the result will be 8600. If the result is "234.0283043" and the round number is "0", the result will be 234.

Round to a given number of significant figures: |sigfig=

To specify the output number to be with n significant figures use |sigfig=<number>:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=4}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=3}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=2}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=1}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Setting |sigfig= to a value less than 1 is meaningless:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=0}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} N

Round to a multiple of 5: 15, 20, 25, ...

Using |round=5 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 5.

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|10|m|ft|round=5}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Similar: using |round=25 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 25.

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|10|m|ft|round=25}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|sigfig=4}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

In a range, one can round each value individually to the default. Use |round=each:

• {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Round to a multiple of a given fraction: ​2 ³⁄₁₆ inch

Specify the desired denominator using |frac=<some positive integer>. (Denominator is the below-the-slash number, for example the 3 in ​¹⁄₃).

• {{convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}} → Template:Convert/cm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}} → Template:Convert/cm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The fraction is reduced when possible:

• {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}} → Template:Convert/cm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Default behaviour uses decimal notation:

• {{convert|5.56|cm|in}} → Template:Convert/cm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Rounding temperatures: °C, °F and K

In temperatures, the conversion will be rounded either to the precision comparable to that of the input value or to that which would give three significant figures when expressed in kelvins, whichever is more precise.

1. {{convert|10,000|C|F K}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
2. {{convert|10,000.1|C|F K}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
3. {{convert|-272|C|F K}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
4. {{convert|-272|C}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
5. {{convert|100|C|F K}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
6. {{convert|0|C|F K}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The precision of the input number in example (1) is one digit, but the precision of its Kelvins expression is three, so the precision of the Fahrenheit conversion is made three (made 180...) . (1) and (2) seem to belie the fact that a Template:Convert/C-change{{#swtich:x|number|output number only=|}}, and make the 32 degrees difference shown in (1) begin to seem off somehow. Result (1) seems off until you set the significant figures yourself with |sigfig=:

{{convert|10000|C|sigfig=5}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

or you set the precision positionally, relative to the decimal point (zero being at the decimal point):

{{convert|10000|C|0}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The precision of the input number in example (2) is six, so the precision of the Fahrenheit output is, whereas before, Kelvins had determined it to be three. Examples (3) and (4) show how this can be hidden and generate questions, but it occurs there because the Kelvins conversion generated two fractional parts. (Before it was the input number that generated the fractional part.) In example (3) the three input digits converted into five significant output digits because of the two digits after the decimal point, generated by the Kelvins conversion. This happened again in (5), but in (6) decimal fractions were neither given as input nor induced by the Kelvins conversion.

Rounding input

There is limited support for rounding the displayed input number. The rounding takes place after conversion, so the output is based on the full-precision input. This is useful when the input is produced by {{#expr:}} or otherwise available to a higher precision than is usefully displayed, and it's desirable to avoid double-rounding.

To round the input to a specified number of digits after the decimal point, use one of the parameters:

• |adj=ri0
• |adj=ri1
• |adj=ri2
• |adj=ri3

Note that there is no |adj=ri-1N or similar for rounding above the decimal place. Neither is there support for significant figures, multiples of 5, or any other output-rounding feature.

The default precision is computed based on the input, so an explicit output precision must usually be supplied:

• {{convert|4.14159|mi|km|adj=ri0}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} N (precisions are mismatched)
• {{convert|4.14159|mi|km|0|adj=ri0}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} Y

In this case, if the input were rounded before conversion, a different result would be obtained:

• {{convert|{{#expr:4.14159 round 0}}|mi|km|0}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} N (double rounding)

Into multiple units: Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Separate the multiple output units by a space:

• {{convert|10|C|F K}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|5|km|mi nmi}} → Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

If the output unit names contain spaces, use + as the separator.

• For multiple-unit options like 1 ft 5 in, see § In input and § In output.

Ranges of values

For a conversion of a difference, see § Units of difference.

A range converts two values and separates them by your choice of words and punctuation.

A range: 6 to 17 kg (13 to 37 lb)

Range indicators are entered as the second parameter (between the values). Range separators can be:

Range separators in {{convert}}

Multiple dimensions: Template:Convert/x{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Use by:

• {{convert|6|by|12|ft|m}} → Template:Convert/by{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Use ×, multiplication sign, or x, letter:

• {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/x{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

In science, the formal way is to set |x| and |abbr=on (keeping dimensions right, like in area = x km²):

• {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/x{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Lists of values: 20, 40, or 60 miles

{{convert|20|,|40|, or|60|mi}} → Template:Convert/,{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

About feet, inch in ranges and multiples

While it is possible to enter feet, inch in a simple conversion, this is not possible for ranges:

• {{convert|1|ft|3|in|x|3|ft|5|in|mm}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} N

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1|ft|3|in|mm}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

However, converting metric units into feet and inches with |order=flip can produce the desired output:

• {{convert|380|x|1040|mm|ftin|order=flip}} → Template:Convert/x{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Words

Spelling of unit name: international metre or US meter?

Default spelling of units is in the en (generic) locale. To show en-US spelling, use |sp=us:

{{convert|1|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}—default

{{convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Spell out numbers: ten miles

To write a number in words, use |spell=in:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=in}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

To spell out both in and out values, use |spell=on:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

To make first letter a capital, use |spell=In, |spell=On

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=In}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=On}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Remember that the spelling of the units (ft, m) is independently set by |abbr=. To the extreme:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on|abbr=off|sp=us}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Inserted before units: 4 planted acres

• {{convert|4|acre||adj=pre|planted}} → Template:Convert/acre{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

disp=preunit is similar, but has no separator after the specified text, and can have different text for the output value:

• {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted }} → Template:Convert/acre{{#swtich:preunit|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted |reforested-}} → Template:Convert/acre{{#swtich:preunit|number|output number only=|}}

After adjective unit: A Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:out|number|output number only=|}} corridor

Note that two units (in this case, ft and m) are required. Use with just one unit will generate an error message.

{{convert|10|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Plurals: 1 inch, 2 inches

The unit symbol is singular always. Depending on the preceding number only, a unit name can be shown plural.

• {{convert|1|metre}} → Template:Convert/metre{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|2|metre}} → Template:Convert/metre{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|2|metre|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/metre{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Exception

Entering the unit spelled |foot| forces singular output "foot", whatever the number is.

• {{convert|100|foot|abbr=off}} → Template:Convert/foot{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Fractions: one-eighth of an imperial pint

The convert template also supports spelling out fractions.

• {{convert|3+1/2|oz|g|spell=in}} → Template:Convert/oz{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Any additional words needed for the fraction can also be added at the end of the template.

• {{convert|1/8|imppt|ml|spell=in|adj=pre|of an}} → Template:Convert/imppt{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Wrapping and line breaking

See Help:Convert § Wrapping and line breaking

Spelling out "thousands", "millions", etc.

Most unit codes accept a prefix of e3 (thousand) or e6 (million) or e9 (billion).

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km}} → Template:Convert/e6mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|120|e6acre}} → Template:Convert/e6acre{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|120|e6acre|e3km2}} → Template:Convert/e6acre{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

To display both input and output in scientific notation, use |abbr=on

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/e6mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

To spell out "thousands", "millions", etc., |abbr=unit abbreviates the unit; |abbr=off displays both full unit names.

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=unit}} → Template:Convert/e6mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=off}} → Template:Convert/e6mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Numbers

Using an SI prefix: gigametre (Gm), or micrometre (μm)

Template:Sidebar metric prefixes (small) Units can have an SI prefix like G before the unit: Gm, and giga before the name: gigametre. These are plain multiplication factors.

To illustrate, these are trivial calculations (from metre to metre), showing the multiplication factor:

• Template:Convert/Gm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• Template:Convert/μm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The prefix can be added before the SI unit (here: unit m for metre):

• {{convert|12|Gm|mi|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/Gm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• Mm: Template:Convert/Mm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• km: Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• mm: Template:Convert/mm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• μm: Template:Convert/μm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• um: Template:Convert/um{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} (letter "u" can be used for "μ" here)

The prefix can be used in the output unit:

• {{convert|12000|mi|Mm|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|12|in|μm|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

As an exception, the non-SI unit "inch" can have the "μ" prefix too:

• {{convert|12|μm|μin|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/μm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Further information: Help:Convert units § SI prefixes

Engineering notation: 7 × 10⁶ m

In the unit: e6m

Engineering notation can be entered as a "prefix" to the unit:

• {{convert|70|e6m}} → Template:Convert/e6m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The same is possible for the output unit:

• {{convert|23,000,000|ft|e6m}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Any standard unit (not a combination, multiple, or built-in unit) can have such a prefix:

• e3 (thousand),
• e6 (million),
• e9 (billion),
• e12 (trillion),
• e15 (quadrillion).

Scientific notation: 1.23 × 10⁻¹⁴

In scientific notation, a number is written like 1.23×10⁻¹⁴. The plain number has exactly one digit before the decimal point.

With {{convert}}, the input can be in e-notation such as 12.3e4. This value is displayed as a power of ten, and the output is displayed in scientific notation, except that an output value satisfying 0.01 <= v < 1000 is shown as a normal number. In addition, if the output value is 1000 and sigfig=4 is used, the value is displayed as a normal number.

• {{convert|12.3e-15|atm|atm|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/atm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|0.00000005|atm|atm|abbr=on}} → Template:Convert/atm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Input with fractions: Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The number to convert can be written in fractions. Both / (keyboard slash) and ⁄ (fraction slash) are accepted:

• {{convert|1/2|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

With positive mixed numbers (a positive integer and a fraction), use a + sign

• {{convert|2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

With negative mixed numbers, use a hyphen - and repeat it:

• {{convert|-2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Note that the following cases are not interpreted as mixed numbers:

• {{convert|2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}. This is interpreted as a range from 2 inches to 1⁄2 inch.
• {{convert|-2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} N This is neither a mixed number nor a range, and mathematical expressions requiring calculations are not allowed here.

Horizontal fraction bar: 1/2 inch

Using a double slash (//) provides a horizontal fraction bar for the original (input) unit:

• {{convert|1//2|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|6+3//8|in|mm|1}} → Template:Convert/in{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Using a negative value for |frac= provides a horizontal fraction bar for the converted (output) unit:

• {{convert|12.7|mm|frac=-2}} → Template:Convert/mm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|161.9|mm|frac=-8}} → Template:Convert/mm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Thousands separator: 1,000 mi or 1000 mi

In input, a comma for thousands separator is accepted but not required; a gap (space) is not accepted. In output, by default, the thousand separator is the comma:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Set |comma=off to remove the separator from the output:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=off}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Use |comma=gaps to use digit grouping by gap (thin space) as a thousands separator:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Setting |comma=5 will only add the separator when the number of digits is 5 or more:

• {{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=5}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1234|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Output manipulation

Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]

Punctuation that distinguishes the two measurements is set by |disp=.
Options are: b (the default), sqbr, comma, or, br, br(), x|…:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:sqbr|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:comma|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:or|number|output number only=|}}

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Setting |disp=br will force a new line (<br/>)

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:br|number|output number only=|}}

Also |disp=br() will force a new line, and keep the brackets (useful in tables):

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br()}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:br()|number|output number only=|}}

Setting |disp=x|… allows any text as separator:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:x|number|output number only=|}} (To display spaces, use  )

Flipping (reordering) the two measurements: Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Setting |order=flip will flip (swap) the two measurements:

• {{convert|1|mi|m|order=flip}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1|mi|m}} → Template:Convert/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

When converting to multiple units, the effect is:

• {{convert|10|km|mi nmi|order=flip}} → Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|10|km|nmi mi|order=flip}} → Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Fixed ordering of output units: Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Setting |order=out shows the output-units as ordered; the input unit is skipped:

• {{convert|100|C|F C K|abbr=on|order=out}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|200|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on|order=out}} → Template:Convert/PS{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

See also: § Displaying parts of the output.

Displaying parts of the result: Template:Convert/cuyd{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

It is possible to display only parts of the conversion result:

Display both input name and symbol: 2 kilopascals [kPa]

Setting |abbr=~ returns both name and symbol of the first (input) unit:

• {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~}} → Template:Convert/kPa{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• A {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~|adj=on}} pressure → A Template:Convert/kPa{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} pressure

Table options

For the wikitable structure, there are three options: add a line-break, split the result over columns and make the table sortable.

Enforced line break

|disp=br adds a line-break and omits brackets.

|disp=br() adds a line-break and does add brackets to the converted value. This may be useful in tables:

|disp=br	|disp=br()
Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:br|number|output number only=|}}	Template:Convert/km{{#swtich:br()|number|output number only=|}}

Table columns

Using {convert} in a table cell, with |disp=table splits the result over two (or more) columns. By default units are not included in the table, however, they can be added using the |abbr= parameter. Multiple-unit outputs, like ftin, always output their units to the table.

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}} →

Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:table|number|output number only=|}}

|disp=tablecen does the same, and also centers the text:

{{convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}} →

Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:tablecen|number|output number only=|}}

The units are added as a column header:

	kilograms	pounds	stone and pounds
|disp=table	Template:Convert/kg{{#swtich:table|number|output number only=|}}
|disp=table and |abbr=on	Template:Convert/kg{{#swtich:table|number|output number only=|}}
|disp=table and |abbr=off	Template:Convert/kg{{#swtich:table|number|output number only=|}}
|disp=tablecen	Template:Convert/kg{{#swtich:tablecen|number|output number only=|}}
|disp=<other> (default)	Template:Convert/kg{{#swtich:|number|output number only=|}}

Sorting

Use |sortable=on to include a hidden numerical sortkey in the output, suitable for use in a table with sortable columns. Technically, this places a hidden string before the actual displayed values:

{{convert|10|m|ft|sortable=on}} → <span data-sort-value="7001100000000000000♠"></span>10 metres (33 ft)

showing: Template:NtshTemplate:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}.

Use both |disp=table and |sortable=on together to produce table columns (pipe symbols) for each value in sortable columns:

The generated sortkey is calculated in a consistent way based on both the value and its unit as passed to the convert template. In most cases convert uses the passed value converted to SI base units. It is therefore not necessarily the displayed value or other alternate units and is calculated regardless of output format options. Using different units or different order of units in individual rows should therefore not lead to incorrect sorting, although variations in rounding can give surprising results, since an unrounded number is used for the sortkey.

Units

The conversion factors and physical constants are sourced here.

All units

Units are case-sensitive: use kW, not KW or kw

The table below lists units supported by {{convert}}. More complete lists are linked for each dimension. For a complete list of all dimensions, see full list of units.

{{Convert}} uses unit-codes, which are similar to, but not necessarily exactly the same as, the usual written abbreviation for a given unit. These unit-codes are displayed in column 3 of the following tables. These are accepted as input by {{convert}} as the second and third unnamed parameters:

• {{convert|100|kg|lb}} → Template:Convert/kg{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|100|lb|kg}} → Template:Convert/lb{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive:

• {{convert|100|Mm|mm}} → Template:Convert/Mm{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7.

• {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}} → Template:Convert/nmi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}} → Template:Convert/oz{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Some units have alternative unit-codes. These are shown in brackets in column 3, e.g. °F (F). Either may be entered for Fahrenheit (but not a lower-case f).

'per' units: kg/hl, miles per gallon

When using a slash (/), a unit like kg/hl is recognized as kilograms per hectolitre and will be converted with other mass/volume units.

• {{convert|1000|kg/hl}} → Template:Convert/kg/hl{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Population density (inhabitants per square mile) can be converted using

• {{convert|10|PD/sqmi|PD/km2}} → Template:Convert/PD/sqmi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Vehicular fuel efficiency, commonly expressed in miles per gallon or litres per 100 km can also be converted

• {{convert|26|mpgUS|l/100km mpgimp}} → Template:Convert/mpgUS{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

Units of difference: Expressing a change or difference in temperature

We have already discussed standard temperature conversions (°C, °F, K), as shown in these two examples:

• {{convert|10|C}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} (standard temperature conversion)
• {{convert|10–15|C}} → Template:Convert/C{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} (standard temperature range conversion)

When expressing a temperature change (e.g., "The temperature increased by 10 °C"), or when comparing temperatures (e.g., "10 to 15 °C warmer"), we cannot use the standard temperature units (|C, |F and |K), which refer to points on the respective scale. Instead, we must use one of the following "units of difference": |C-change, |F-change and |K-change.

Compare the following two examples with the two above:

• {{convert|10|C-change}} → Template:Convert/C-change{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} increase in temperature
• {{convert|10–15|C-change}} → Template:Convert/C-change{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} warmer than normal

To produce multiple units in the output:

• {{convert|10|C-change|F-change K-change}} → Template:Convert/C-change{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}} difference

Multiple units: 1 ft 5 in

In input

Base document § Input multiples lists options for multiple unit input (like ft,in). It can catch predefined sets only (units that can be subdivided; e.g., yd into ft):

• {{convert|1|yd|2|ft|3|in}} → Template:Convert/yd{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|2|ft|3|in|cm}} → Template:Convert/ft{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1|lb|5|oz|g}} → Template:Convert/lb{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

In output

Available multiple-unit output options predefined, like ftin and ydftin. The full list is at § Output multiples.

• {{convert|2|m|ftin}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|2|m|ft in}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}, using a space, returns the decimal point

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|2|m}} → Template:Convert/m{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

See also:

• {{hands}} a length used to measure horses
• {{Long ton}} a weight in ton, cwt, qr and lb

Currency per unit: $/mi → $/km

Using currency symbols in a $ per unit value, you can convert the per-unit:

• {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km}} → Template:Convert/$/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|1500|$/ozt|$/g}} → Template:Convert/$/ozt{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

You can set the currency in both values using |$=€:

• {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km|$=€}} → Template:Convert/$/mi{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}

It is not possible to convert the currency. So, this result (mixed currencies) is not possible: $15 per mile (€8.6/km) N

Using convert inside templates

For usage in template code, like infoboxes, {{Convert}} has these options:

Pre-formatting fraction input

• Module:Convert/helper can read regular input and pre-format it into {{Convert}}-accepted input.

Your template can accept |input=16 7/8 and use {{#invoke:Convert/helper|number|16 7/8}} →

Using a Wikidata property

• Adding the Wikidata property code, like code |input=P2073, to your template code automatically returns the Wikidata property for that article, and convert it. Both number and unit are read.

Note: to return that property value for an other article, use |qid=.

Example for (P2073): Note: this example uses |qid=Q1056131 (testing for (Q1056131))

• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|ftin|abbr=on}} → {{convert/{{{2}}}|ftin|0|||||||r=re|d=LoffAonDbSoff|s=}}{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on}} → {{convert/{{{2}}}|km|0|||||||r=re|d=LoffAonDbSoff|s=}}{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on|disp=out}} → {{convert/{{{2}}}|km|0|||||||r=re|d=LoffAonDoutSoff|s=}}{{#swtich:out|number|output number only=|}}

For example see template:Infobox Telescope.

Sometimes a property may have more than one value against it in Wikidata. You can use the |qual= parameter to specify which of the values you want to use.

Example for (P2386): Note: this example uses |qid=Q1513315 (testing for (Q1513315))

• (Q613628): {{convert|input=P2386|qual=Q613628|ft|abbr=on}} → {{convert/{{{2}}}|ft|0|||||||r=re|d=LoffAonDbSoff|s=}}{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
• (Q1395645): {{convert|input=P2386|qual=Q1395645|ft|abbr=on}} → {{convert/{{{2}}}|ft|0|||||||r=re|d=LoffAonDbSoff|s=}}{{#swtich:{{{disp}}}|number|output number only=|}}
