To measure these quantities, units of measurements are required. There are times when the units used for the measurement do not match the measurement preference and convenience as well as the standards prescribed for certain processes and applications. Converting such units to an extent that it can be understood directly and applied properly is important. To better understand the statement, let us consider the example of a person who is only familiar with the metric system. The person cannot easily figure out the height of a tree measuring 25 feet. Converting 25 feet to metres will help the person better understand the height of the tree. Let us learn unit conversions with the help of a unit conversion table. In this article, we have provided different units of conversion used for the measurement of different parameters.
