Template {{convert}} calculates measurements from one unit (you can enter) to another one, and then presents the results. For example:

{{convert|2|km|mi}} → 2 کلومیٹر (1.2 میل)
{{convert|7|mi|km}} → 7 میل (11 کلومیٹر)

The available units are listed below. Units are case-sensitive always (kW, not KW and not kw). Multiple formatting and calculation options are listed below.

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

ترمیم

By default, the first value shows unit name, the second the symbol (or abbreviation). Use |abbr=on/off to change this behaviour:

{{convert|1|lb|kg}} → 1 پونڈ (0.45 کلوگرام) (To compare; default: first value shows unit name)
{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 پونڈ (0.45 کلوگرام)
{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}} → 1 پونڈ (0.45 کلوگرام)
  • |abbr=in toggles the default behaviour (|abbr=out):
{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}} → 1 پونڈ (0.45 کلوگرام)

Adjective: a 10-mile distance

ترمیم

Use |adj=on to produce the adjective form. The difference:

{{convert|10|mi|km}} to go → 10 میل (16 کلومیٹر) to go. (To compare, default)
A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance → A 10-میل (16 کلومیٹر) distance. (Adjective form)

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

ترمیم

By definition, 100 ft equals 30.48 میٹر. In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities.

Default rounding

ترمیم
By 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 figures, 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}} 123 فٹ (40 میٹر)
{{convert|123|ft|m|0}} 123 فٹ (37 میٹر)
{{convert|123|ft|m|1}} 123 فٹ (37.5 میٹر)
{{convert|550|ft|m|0}} 550 فٹ (168 میٹر) Approximate value is 167.64 m
{{convert|550|ft|m}} 550 فٹ (170 میٹر) Rounds to 170, when approximate value is 167.64 m
{{convert|500|ft|m|0}} 500 فٹ (152 میٹر) Approximate value is 152.4 m
{{convert|500|ft|m}} 500 فٹ (150 میٹر) Rounds to 150, when approximate value is 152.4 m

Convert supports four types of rounding:

Round to a given precision: use |precision=

ترمیم

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 power of 110 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=

ترمیم

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

  • To compare: {{convert|1200|ft|m}} → 1,200 فٹ (370 میٹر)
  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=4}} → 1,200 فٹ (365.8 میٹر)
  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=3}} → 1,200 فٹ (366 میٹر)
  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=2}} → 1,200 فٹ (370 میٹر)
  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=1}} → 1,200 فٹ (400 میٹر)

Setting |sigfig= is meaningless

  • {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=0}} → 1,200 فٹ (370 میٹر)*

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

ترمیم

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

{{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 میٹر (33 فٹ)
{{convert|10|m|ft|round=5}} → 10 میٹر (35 فٹ)

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

{{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 میٹر (33 فٹ)
{{convert|10|m|ft|round=25}} → 10 میٹر (25 فٹ)
To compare: {{convert|10|m|ft|sigfig=4}} → 10 میٹر (32.81 فٹ)

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

{{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}} → 10 در 200 در 3,000 میٹر (33 فٹ × 656 فٹ × 9,843 فٹ)
{{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}} → 10 در 200 در 3,000 میٹر (33 فٹ × 660 فٹ × 9,800 فٹ)

Round to a multiple of a given fraction: 2 316 inch

ترمیم

Specify the desired denominator using |frac=<some positive integer>. (Denominator is the below-the-slash number, for example the 3 in 13).

{{convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}} → 5.56 سینٹیمیٹر (2 316 انچ)
{{convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}} → 8 سینٹیمیٹر (3 14 انچ)

The fraction is reduced when possible:

{{convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}} → 8 سینٹیمیٹر (3 320 انچ)
{{convert|8|cm|in}} → 8 سینٹیمیٹر (3.150 انچ) (To compare)

Rounding the temperatures °C, °F and K

ترمیم

In temperatures, the conversion will be rounded either to 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.

{{convert|10|C|F K}} → 10 °C (50 °F؛ 283 ک)

Note

For a temperature difference, like to convert "A rise of 10 °C", use |C-change=10 &tc.
{{convert|10|C-change|F-change K-change}} → A rise of 10 °C (18 °F؛ 10 ک)

Into multiple units: 10 °C (50 °F؛ 283 ک)

ترمیم

Separate the multiple output units by a space:

{{convert|10|C|F K}} → 10 °C (50 °F؛ 283 ک)
{{convert|5|km|mi nmi}} → 5 کلومیٹر (3.1 میل؛ 2.7 بحری میل)

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

Ranges of values

ترمیم

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

ترمیم

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

Use "×" or ""x""
{{convert|6|x|12|m|ft}} → 6 در 12 میٹر (20 فٹ × 39 فٹ)

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}} → 6 میٹر × 12 میٹر (20 فٹ × 39 فٹ)

About feet, inch in ranges and multiples

ترمیم

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

Spelling of unit name: UK metre or US meter?

ترمیم

Default spelling of units is en-UK. To show en-US spelling, use |sp=us:

{{convert|1|m|ft}} → 1 میٹر (3.3 فٹ)—default
{{convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}} → 1 میٹر (3.3 فٹ)

Spell out numbers: ten miles

ترمیم

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

{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=in}} → دس (ten) میل (16,000 میٹر)

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

{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on}} → دس (ten) میل (سولہ (sixteen) هزار میٹر)

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

{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=In}} → دس (ten) میل (16,000 میٹر)
{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=On}} → دس (ten) میل (سولہ (sixteen) هزار میٹر)

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}} → دس (ten) میل (سولہ (sixteen) هزار میٹر)

Extra words: 4 planted acres

ترمیم
Incomplete section
{{convert|4|acre||adj=pre|planted}} → 4 planted acre (1.6 ha)

Extra adjective words: A 10-فٹ-long corridor

ترمیم
{{convert|4|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} → 10-فٹ-long (3.0 میٹر)

Plurals: 1 inch, 2 inches

ترمیم

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

Exception

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

  • {{convert|100|foot|abbr=off}} → 100 فٹ (30 میٹر)

Extreme changes for grammatical structure: The 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons

ترمیم

This example is from the article Fort McHenry:

The American defenders had 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons.

You can't get this sentence structure as a direct result of using {{convert}} and its options. However, you can get the correctly converted numbers and the grammatical structure you want to use by using {{convert}} plus three stages of editing, previewing and saving versions of the text you wish to change.

Stage 1: Enter the input numbers and units in {{convert}} as usual (this stage is just to get the calculated output):
  • had {{convert|18 |, |24 |, |32 |lb |kg |0 }} cannons
Get the converted data below by clicking Preview or Save:
→ had 18, 24, 32 پونڈ (8, 11, 15 کلوگرام) cannons
Stage 2: Change the resulting text from a {{convert|...}} template result to plain code by adding subst: to the template name (short for "substitution") :
  • had {{subst:convert|18 |, |24 |, |32 |lb |kg |0 }} cannons
Double-check this by clicking Preview. The preview will show the converted numbers are still correct:
→ had 18, 24, 32 pounds (8, 11, 15 kg) cannons
Then click Save.
Stage 3: Click Edit at the top of the article again, and then go to the text in the editing window. You'll see that the text is there in plain code. The template {{convert|...}} itself will have disappeared. You can change the text as needed. The substituted text and plain code in the editing window in this example would be:
had 18,&nbsp;24,&nbsp;32 pounds (8,&nbsp;11,&nbsp;15&nbsp;kg) cannons
You can edit this text as usual to add the grammatical features you wish. In this example, editing the above text to:
  • had 18-,_24-_and_32-pounder (8,&nbsp;11_and_15&nbsp;kg) cannons
And then saving your edit will show the following result in the article text:
→ "had 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons"

Units can have an SI prefix like G before the unit: Gm, and giga before the name: gigameter. These are plain multiplication factors.

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

  • 12 Gمیٹر (1.2×1010 میٹر)
  • 12 µمیٹر (1.2×10−5 میٹر)

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

  • {{convert|12|Gm|mi|abbr=on}} → 12 Gمیٹر (7,500,000 میل)
  • Mm: 12 Mمیٹر (7,500 میل)
  • km: 12 کلومیٹر (39,000 فٹ)
  • mm: 12  ملی میٹر (0.47 انچ)
  • μm: 12 µمیٹر (0.012  ملی میٹر)
  • um: 12 µمیٹر (0.012  ملی میٹر) (letter "u" can be used for "μ" here)

The prefix can be used in the output unit:

  • {{convert|12000|mi|Mm|abbr=on}} → 12,000 میل (19 Mمیٹر)
  • {{convert|12|in|μm|abbr=on}} → 12 انچ (300,000 µمیٹر)

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

  • {{convert|12|μm|μin|abbr=on}} → 12 µمیٹر (470 µin)

Engineering notation: 7 × 106 m

ترمیم

In the unit: e6m

ترمیم

Engineering number notations like 7E6 (for 7 × 106) can be entered as a "prefix" to the unit:

{{convert|7|e6m}} → 7 ملین میٹر (23,000,000 فٹ)

The same is possible for the output unit:

{{convert|23,000,000|ft|e6m}} → 23,000,000 فٹ (7.0×10^6 میٹر)

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

ترمیم

In scientific notation, a number is written like 1.23×10−14.

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}} → 12.3×10−15 atm (1.23×10−14 atm)
  • {{convert|0.00000005|atm|atm|abbr=on}} → 0.00000005 atm (5.0×10−8 atm)

Input with fractions: 1 12 انچ (38.1  ملی میٹر)

ترمیم

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

{{convert|1/2|in|mm|1}}12 انچ (12.7  ملی میٹر)
{{convert|1⁄2|in|mm|1}}12 انچ (12.7  ملی میٹر)

With integers, use a + sign

{{convert|2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}}2 12 انچ (63.5  ملی میٹر)

When negative, use a hyphen - and repeat it:

{{convert|-2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}}−2 12 انچ (−63.5  ملی میٹر)
{{convert|2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → 2–12 انچ (50.8–12.7  ملی میٹر) Note: this is read as a range
{{convert|-2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}}[آلہ تبدیل: invalid number] Red XN Should be a number, not an expression (do not require a calculation)

Output with horizontal fraction bar in: 1/2 inch

ترمیم

Using a double slash (//) returns a horizontal bar fraction:

  • {{convert|1//2|in|mm|1}}1/2 انچ (12.7  ملی میٹر)
  • {{convert|2+1//2|in|mm|1}}2 1/2 انچ (63.5  ملی میٹر)

Thousands separator: 1,000 mi and 1000 mi

ترمیم

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}} → 1,234,567 میٹر (4,050,417 فٹ)
  • {{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 میٹر (4,050,417 فٹ)
  • {{convert|1 234 567|m|ft}}[آلہ تبدیل: invalid number] Red XN

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

  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=off}} → 1234567 میٹر (4050417 فٹ)*

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

  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 میٹر (4,050,417 فٹ) (To compare, default)
  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}}1234567 میٹر (4050417 فٹ)

Setting |comma=5 or |comma=gaps5 will only add the separator when the number of digits is 5 or more:

  • {{convert|1234|m|ft}} → 1,234 میٹر (4,049 فٹ) (To compare, default)
  • {{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1234 میٹر (4049 فٹ)
  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1,234,567 میٹر (4,050,417 فٹ)
  • {{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=gaps5}}1234 میٹر (4049 فٹ)*
  • {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps5}}1234567 میٹر (4050417 فٹ)*

Output manipulation

ترمیم

Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]

ترمیم

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

{{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 میٹر (33 فٹ)—( ) brackets are the default
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}} → 10 میٹر [33 فٹ]
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}} → 10 میٹر، 33 فٹ
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}} → 10 میٹر یا 33 فٹ

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

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}} → 10 میٹر
33 فٹ

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

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br()}} → 10 میٹر
(33 فٹ)

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

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}} → 10 میٹر_MyText_33 فٹ—(To display spaces, use &nbsp;)

Flipping (reordering) the two measurements: 1,609.3 میٹر (1 میل)

ترمیم

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

{{convert|1|mi|m}} → 1 میل (1,609.3 میٹر) (To compare, default)
{{convert|1|mi|m|order=flip}} → 1,609.3 میٹر (1 میل)

When converting to multiple units, the effect is:

{{convert|10|km|mi nmi|order=flip}} → 6.2137 میل؛ 5.3996 بحری میل (10 کلومیٹر)
{{convert|10|km|nmi mi|order=flip}} → 5.3996 بحری میل؛ 6.2137 میل (10 کلومیٹر)

Table options

ترمیم

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

ترمیم

|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()
100 کلومیٹر
62 میل
100 کلومیٹر
(62 میل)

Table columns showing numbers only

ترمیم

Using {convert} in a table cell, with |disp=table splits the result over two columns:

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}} → style="text-align:right;"|10

|style="text-align:right;"|33

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

{{convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}} → style="text-align:center;"|20

|style="text-align:center;"|66

The units are added as a column header:

  m ft
|disp=table 10 33
|disp=tablecen 20 66
|disp=<other> (default) 30 میٹر (98 فٹ)

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 style="display:none">7001100000000000000</span>10 metres (33&nbsp;ft)

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

m ft
A 15 34 52
B 15.5 51
C 16.0 52.5
D 16 52

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.

The table below lists units supported by template {{convert}}. The list is not complete—more complete lists are linked for each dimension. A complete list is at the full list of units.

Explanation – unit codes

The {{convert}} template 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 given in column 3 of the following tables, and are accepted as input by the {{convert}} template as the second and third unnamed parameters. For example, {{convert|100|kg|lb}} produces "100 کلوگرام (220 پونڈ)" and {{convert|100|lb|kg}} produces "100 پونڈ (45 کلوگرام)"

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 lower-case f).

The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive, especially in cases like {{convert|100|Mm|mm}}, which produces "100 میگامیٹر (1.0×1011  ملی میٹر)".

The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the | separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7. For example, {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}} produces "55 بحری میل (102 کلومیٹر؛ 63 میل)", and {{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}} produces "1 اونس (0.91 ozt؛ 28 گرام؛ 440 gr)".
