Table 5. SI derived units expressed in terms of SI derived units with special names.

The above table shows some derived quantities and units expressed in terms of SI units with special names. Some derived quantities like moment of force (newton metre) and thermodynamic energy (joule) are both quantities of energy (kg m2 s-2) but are very often expressed differently.

To use the measurement conversion calculators simply enter a number value into the desired field and click calculate. All results shown will be equivalent values. Values are given to seven significant figures ( the odd result may show 9's or 0's over running). Values of 10 000 or greater will be displayed in the e-format e.g. 2.3456e7 which equals 2.3456 x 107 or 23 456 000. Values lower than 0.001 will be displayed in the e-format e.g. 2.3456e-5 which equals 2.3456 x 10-5 or 0.000 023456. The calculators require that your browser has java script enabled. View all measurement unit conversion calculators on the same page (may not work with all browsers; requires Iframe).
