Example 1- Aquarium Volume

You just bought a new aquarium and want to know how much water it will hold.

Using a tape measure, you discover that it is 19.5 inches wide by 9.75 inches long. You figure that you probably won't fill it more than about 10 inches high. Enter the volume calculation as shown and the desired output units as gallons, and press the Calculate button. You'll find that your new tank should hold about 8.2 gallons of water.

Notice in the example that 3 different abbreviations for "inches" were used -- Univerter recognizes them all as the same thing.

Considering the same aquarium from example 1, let's say that you want to know how much the water would weigh.

Since Volume times density equals mass, simply type in the volume (8.2 gallons) multiplied by DensityWater. In this case, "DensityWater" is one of the many constants provides with Univerter. Of course Univerter lets you add your own constants and units.

Let's assume we need to know the linear weight (in grams per inch) of a spool of wire. If we know that the 100-ft spool of wire weighs 21.5 pounds, and we know that the (empty) spool itself weighs 2.67 pounds, we have all the information we need. With Univerter, we would simply enter the following...

Univerter makes the problem solvable in a single step. Try that with those other conversion programs!
