Template:Convert/list of units

The table below lists units supported by . More complete lists are linked for each dimension. For a complete list of all dimensions, see full list of units.

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 displayed in column 3 of the following tables. These are accepted as input by as the second and third unnamed parameters:

• {{convert|100|kg|lb}} →
• {{convert|100|lb|kg}} →

The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive:

• {{convert|100|Mm|mm}} →

The output of can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7.

• {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}} →
• {{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}} →

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 a lower-case f).
