    About Units and the SI

    Scientific Converters converts pressure, flow rate, air permeability, area, volume and time with exact factors. For example, 1 psi = 6894.757293 Pa and 1 CFM/ft² = 5.08 L/(m²·s).

    The International System of Units (SI) is built on seven base units, among them the metre, kilogram and second. Since 2019 each is defined by a fixed constant of nature, such as the speed of light or the Planck constant. Units like the pascal (N/m²) and the cubic metre per second are derived from these base units. Many customary units are exact multiples of SI units: the inch is exactly 25.4 mm and the pound exactly 0.45359237 kg, so a psi is exactly 6894.757293168… Pa. Others, such as inches of water, depend on a reference density and temperature, which every page here states. Scientific Converters stores each factor exactly, cites NIST SP 811 or the BIPM SI Brochure, and calculates with 50-digit decimal arithmetic before rounding the display.
