Unit converter: questions and answers

How accurate are the conversions?

Factors such as 1 inch equals 0.0254 metres and 1 pound equals 0.45359237 kilograms are exact by definition, and the converter uses them in full. Units defined by convention carry a note under the category so the assumption is visible.

Why is a US gallon different from an imperial gallon?

They are different units: a US liquid gallon is about 3.785 litres and an imperial gallon is 4.546 litres. The converter lists both, so pick the one your source uses.
