Designed to dramatically increase calculation efficiency while maintaining high levels of accuracy, this tool is freely available and is accessible on desktop and mobile platforms.
Knovel Unit Converter is one of the most robust available to engineers today. This release of Knovel Unit Converter includes over 1000 units and performs math functions. Engineers can easily create custom units by selecting and combining appropriate units available in the library.

"I like the units classified by properties and the ability to type the units and make a selection with the autocomplete feature and without having to go through a drop-down list. Most probably it will become my favorite tool, ahead of the Google or MathWEB ones."
Key features of Knovel Unit Converter include:
