Weight Converter

How does the weight converter work?

The weight converter is used to convert different units of measurement for weight, select the original unit or "from unit" ex.(grams, pounds, kilograms, ounces), and more! Next, enter the numeric "value" of weight, then select the unit of measurement you would like the outcome to be "to unit" and click the "convert" button.

Below is a helpful example and demonstration of how the pressure converter functions.

Example: you have a weight of 500 pounds and need it converted to kilograms, select pounds in the "from unit" input field, enter 500 in the "value" field then choose kilograms in the "To unit" field, and finally click the "convert" button!

  • From unit: Select the unit of measurement you are using and would like converted ex.(grams, pounds, kilograms, ounces)
  • Value: Enter the numeric value of your measurement.
  • To unit: Choose the unit of measurement you wish to be converted into.

Understanding the results

Once all the input fields have been entered and "convert" has been clicked, the length converter will provide an answer. The unit of measurement originally used "from unit" will be converted to the "to unit" you have selected.
