This site uniformly uses the metric system for all weights and other measures, and reserves the right to add editorial conversions to any other measurement systems used in notes or articles posted. This is for a variety of reasons, most importantly:
A quick conversion list for those in the U.S. unfamiliar with the metric system:
1 cm = 0.4 inches
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm) = 1000 millimeters (mm) = 3.28 feet
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g) = 2.2 pounds
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (ml) = 0.264 gallons
0 Celsius = 32 Fahrenheit
You can find a javascript-based conversion script here for length and weight. You can find a Fahrenheit to Celsius (and vice versa) conversion script here.
