Unit Converter

Engineering managed to get so far because of methods to measure, which help a lot with accuracy. However, performing a manual conversion of units from different dimensions, or range points can be difficult, and prone to error, but with the help of automated solutions like Unit Converter, the process narrows down to a few seconds.

On the one hand, the application skips you both the time and effort needed to go through a setup process, meaning it can be easily carried around on a USB flash drive to use wherever needed. Apart from a great deal of mobility, portability also means registries are kept intact, so the target PC is not damaged. To note that it relies on Java Runtime Environment to run, so it needs to be on the target computer.

Conversion is done on the spot, and even if you don’t take the time to get to know the application, you instantly manage to figure out where input value goes, how to select the dimension, and value of interest, and where the result is shown. The visual design is intuitive in this manner, and can even be customized with different background, and foreground colors, as well as unit separator symbol.

You don’t have the liberty to add more dimensions to the the list, but the application already comes with a large variety of choices. As such, you’re able to convert units for area, density, energy, enthalpy, flow, force, heat capacity, heat transfer coefficient, length, power, pressure, surface tension, temperature, thermal conductivity, time, velocity, viscosity, volume, and weight.

Hovering the mouse over an item reveals the next list of corresponding units to convert from, while the last column is the destination type. The value field updates just as you highlight units, and the conversion factor is also displayed. Copying needs to be done manually, because there aren’t any export options.

On an ending note, Unit Converter is sure to come in handy for a quick conversion of most unit dimensions, and types you might come across. The visual design is simple, and clean, letting anyone accommodate in a jiffy, while the real-time display of results, and variety of units makes it a keeper.
