سانچو:Cvt/دستاويز

This template {{cvt}} is similar to {{convert}}, with one change: {{cvt}} has option |abbr=on preset.

For currency conversion into US dollars, see Template:To USD

Template {{convert}} calculates from one measurement unit to another one, and then presents the results formatted. For example:

{{convert|2|km|mi}} → 2 ڪلوميٽر (1.2 mi) (km entered, so converted into mile)

{{convert|7|mi|km}} → 7 ميل (11 km) (mi entered, so converted into km)

Numbers can be rounded, units can be abbreviated into symbols:

{{convert|2|km|mi|2|abbr=on}} → 2 km (1.24 mi)

{{convert|7|mi|km|2|abbr=on}} → 7 mi (11.27 km)

Value ranges can be entered using |to|... or |-|...:

{{convert|2|to|5|km|mi}} → 2 تائين 5 ڪلوميٽر (1.2 تائين 3.1 mi)

{{convert|2|-|5|km|mi}} → 2–5 ڪلوميٽر (1.2–3.1 mi)

Combined effect example:

{{convert|2|-|5|km|mi|2|abbr=on}} → 2–5 km (1.24–3.11 mi)

{{convert|2|and|5|km|mi|sigfig=3|abbr=off}} → 2 ۽ 5 ڪلوميٽر (1.24 ۽ 3.11 ميل)

See Help:Convert for more detailed, technical information

Units to convert

See also: Complete list of units for {{Convert}}

Enter units to convert from into:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg}} → 1 پائونڊ (0.45 kg)

SI units generally accept prefixes, like "m" for milli (10⁻³), and "M" for mega (10⁶)

For "per" units, use "/" (slash): kg/ha

For three-unit units etc.: see زمرو:Convert-like templates

Unit name or symbol (abbreviation): 1 pound or 1 lb?

By default, the first quantity shows unit name, the second shows the symbol (or abbreviation):

• {{convert|1|lb|kg}} → 1 پائونڊ (0.45 kg)

Using |abbr=in is the reverse behaviour to the default:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}} → 1 lb (0.45 ڪلوگرام)

To abbreviate both or neither:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)
• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}} → 1 پائونڊ (0.45 ڪلوگرام)

When using scientific notation, the default is for the second (converted) quantity to be displayed using scientific notation:

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km}} → 100 ملين ميل (160×10^⁶ km)

To display thousands, millions, etc., while abbreviating both input and output units use |abbr=unit:

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=unit}} → 100 ملين ميل (160×10^⁶ km)

Convenience: {{cvt}} has |abbr=on by default

Template {{cvt}} is the same as {{convert}}, except that it has |abbr=on as the default behaviour. In {{cvt}}, all other options are available. So:

{{cvt|1|lb|kg}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)

is equivalent to:

{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)

Adjective: a 10-mile distance

Use |adj=on to produce the adjectival (hyphenated) form:

• A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance → A 10-ميل (16 km) distance.

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|mi|km}} to go → 10 ميل (16 km) to go.

Even with |abbr=on, as per no hyphen is produced with unit symbols.

==

Rounding: 100 ft is 30 m or 30.5 m or 30.48 m?==

See Help:Convert#Rounding for a more mathematical description of the rounding options

By definition, 100 ft equals 30.48 m. In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities.

Default rounding

By {{Convert}} default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the same if the factor is between 0.2 and 2, is decreased by 1 if it is between 2 and 20, and so on) or to two significant digits, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is rounding temperatures (see below).

Examples of rounding
Input	Displays as	Note
{{convert|123|ft|m|-1}}	123 فٽ (40 m)
{{convert|123|ft|m}}	123 فٽ (37 m)	same output as with 0 (below)
{{convert|123|ft|m|0}}	123 فٽ (37 m)
{{convert|123|ft|m|1}}	123 فٽ (37.5 m)
{{convert|123|ft|m|2}}	123 فٽ (37.49 m)	exact value is 37.4904 m
{{convert|500|ft|m|-1}}	500 فٽ (150 m)
{{convert|500|ft|m}}	500 فٽ (150 m)	same output as with −1 (above), because the conversion factor is between 0.2 and 2 (hence, it should produce same double-zero precision (−2) as in the input value), but the conversion must produce two significant digits at a minimum (hence, a higher single-zero precision (−1) is used)
{{convert|500|ft|m|0}}	500 فٽ (152 m)
{{convert|500|ft|m|1}}	500 فٽ (152.4 m)
{{convert|500|ft|m|2}}	500 فٽ (152.40 m)	exact value is 152.4 m
{{convert|500|ft|cm|-3}}	500 فٽ (15٬000 cm)
{{convert|500|ft|cm}}	500 فٽ (15٬000 cm)	same output as with −3 (above), because the conversion factor is between 20 and 200 (hence, it should decrease input value's double-zero precision (−2) by 2), but the conversion must produce two significant digits at a minimum (hence, a higher triple-zero precision (−3) is used)
{{convert|500|ft|cm|0}}	500 فٽ (15٬240 cm)

Convert supports four types of rounding:

Round to a given precision: use a precision number

Specify the desired precision with the fourth unnamed parameter (or third unnamed parameter if the "convert to" parameter is omitted; or fifth unnamed parameter if a range is specified; or fourth unnamed parameter again if a range is specified and the "convert to" parameter is omitted; needs to be replaced with a "precision" named parameter). The conversion is rounded off to the nearest multiple of ¹⁄₁₀ to the power of this number. For instance, if the result is 8621 and the round number is "-2", the result will be 8600. If the result is "234.0283043" and the round number is "0", the result will be 234.

Round to a given number of significant figures: |sigfig=

To specify the output number to be with n significant figures use |sigfig=<number>:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=4}} → 1٬200 فٽ (365.8 m)
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=3}} → 1٬200 فٽ (366 m)
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=2}} → 1٬200 فٽ (370 m)
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=1}} → 1٬200 فٽ (400 m)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m}} → 1٬200 فٽ (370 m)

Setting |sigfig= to a value less than 1 is meaningless:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=0}} → 1٬200 فٽ (370 m) N

Round to a multiple of 5: 15, 20, 25, ...

Using |round=5 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 5.

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 ميٽر (33 ft)
• {{convert|10|m|ft|round=5}} → 10 ميٽر (35 ft)

Similar: using |round=25 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 25.

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 ميٽر (33 ft)
• {{convert|10|m|ft|round=25}} → 10 ميٽر (25 ft)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|sigfig=4}} → 10 ميٽر (32.81 ft)

In a range, one can round each value individually to the default. Use |round=each:

• {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}} → 10 لحاظ کان 200 لحاظ کان 3٬000 ميٽر (33 × 656 × 9٬843 ft)
• {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}} → 10 لحاظ کان 200 لحاظ کان 3٬000 ميٽر (33 × 660 × 9٬800 ft)

Round to a multiple of a given fraction: 2+³⁄₁₆ inch

Specify the desired denominator using |frac=<some positive integer>. (Denominator is the below-the-slash number, for example the 3 in ¹⁄₃).

• {{convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}} → 5.56 سينٽيميٽر (2 ³⁄₁₆ in)
• {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}} → 8 سينٽيميٽر (3 ¹⁄₄ in)

The fraction is reduced when possible:

• {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}} → 8 سينٽيميٽر (3 ³⁄₂₀ in)

Default behaviour uses decimal notation:

• {{convert|5.56|cm|in}} → 5.56 سينٽيميٽر (2.19 in)

===

Rounding temperatures: °C, °F and K=== In temperatures, the conversion will be rounded either to the precision comparable to that of the input value or to that which would give three significant figures when expressed in kelvins, whichever is more precise.

1. {{convert|10,000|C|F K}} → 10٬000 °C (18٬000 °F; 10٬300 K)
2. {{convert|10,000.1|C|F K}} → 10٬000.1 °C (18٬032.2 °F; 10٬273.2 K)
3. {{convert|-272|C|F K}} → −272 °C (−457.60 °F; 1.15 K)
4. {{convert|-272|C}} → −272 °C (−457.60 °F)
5. {{convert|100|C|F K}} → 100 °C (212 °F; 373 K)
6. {{convert|0|C|F K}} → 0 °C (32 °F; 273 K)

The precision of the input number in example (1) is one digit, but the precision of its Kelvins expression is three, so the precision of the Fahrenheit conversion is made three (made 180...) . (1) and (2) seem to belie the fact that a 0.1 مٽجندڙ ڊگري سيلسيس is a 0.18 مٽجندڙ ڊگري فارنهائٽ, and make the 32 degrees difference shown in (1) begin to seem off somehow. Result (1) seems off until you set the significant figures yourself with |sigfig=:

{{convert|10000|C|sigfig=5}} → 10٬000 °C (18٬032 °F)

or you set the precision positionally, relative to the decimal point (zero being at the decimal point):

{{convert|10000|C|0}} → 10٬000 °C (18٬032 °F)

The precision of the input number in example (2) is six, so the precision of the Fahrenheit output is, whereas before, Kelvins had determined it to be three. Examples (3) and (4) show how this can be hidden and generate questions, but it occurs there because the Kelvins conversion generated two fractional parts. (Before it was the input number that generated the fractional part.) In example (3) the three input digits converted into five significant output digits because of the two digits after the decimal point, generated by the Kelvins conversion. This happened again in (5), but in (6) decimal fractions were neither given as input nor induced by the Kelvins conversion.

Rounding input

There is limited support for rounding the displayed input number. The rounding takes place after conversion, so the output is based on the full-precision input. This is useful when the input is produced by {{#expr:}} or otherwise available to a higher precision than is usefully displayed, and it's desirable to avoid double-rounding.

To round the input to a specified number of digits after the decimal point, use one of the parameters:

• |adj=ri0
• |adj=ri1
• |adj=ri2
• |adj=ri3

Note that there is no |adj=ri-1N or similar for rounding above the decimal place. Neither is there support for significant figures, multiples of 5, or any other output-rounding feature.

The default precision is computed based on the input, so an explicit output precision must usually be supplied:

• {{convert|4.14159|mi|km|adj=ri0}} → 4 ميل (6.66524 km) N (precisions are mismatched)
• {{convert|4.14159|mi|km|0|adj=ri0}} → 4 ميل (7 km) Y

In this case, if the input were rounded before conversion, a different result would be obtained:

• {{convert|{{#expr:4.14159 round 0}}|mi|km|0}} → 4 ميل (6 km) N (double rounding)

Into multiple units: 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)

Separate the multiple output units by a space:

• {{convert|10|C|F K}} → 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)
• {{convert|5|km|mi nmi}} → 5 ڪلوميٽر (3.1 mi; 2.7 nmi)

If the output unit names contain spaces, use + as the separator.

Ranges of values

ڏسو a conversion of a difference لاءِ، #Units of difference.

A range converts two values and separates them by your choice of words and punctuation.

A range: 6 to 17 kg (13 to 37 lb)

Range indicators are entered as the second parameter (between the values). Range separators can be:

Multiple dimensions: 6 m × 12 m (20 ft × 39 ft)

Use by:

• {{convert|6|by|12|ft|m}} → 6 لحاظ کان 12 فٽ (1.8 لحاظ کان 3.7 m)

Use ×, multiplication sign, or x, letter:

• {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft}} → 6 لحاظ کان 12 ميٽر (20 ft × 39 ft)

In science, the formal way is to set |x| and |abbr=on (keeping dimensions right, like in area = x km²):

• {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft|abbr=on}} → 6 m × 12 m (20 ft × 39 ft)

About feet, inch in ranges and multiples

While it is possible to enter feet, inch in a simple conversion, this is not possible for ranges:

• {{convert|1|ft|3|in|x|3|ft|5|in|mm}} → 1 فٽ 3 انچ () N

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1|ft|3|in|mm}} → 1 فٽ 3 انچ (380 mm)

Words

Spelling of unit name: UK metre or US meter?

Default spelling of units is en-UK. To show en-US spelling, use |sp=us:

{{convert|1|m|ft}} → 1 ميٽر (3.3 ft)—default

{{convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}} → 1 ميٽر (3.3 ft)

Spell out numbers: ten miles

To write a number in words, use |spell=in:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=in}} → ڏهہ (ten) ميل (16٬000 m)

To spell out both in and out values, use |spell=on:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on}} → ڏهہ (ten) ميل (سورنهن (sixteen) هزار m)

To make first letter a capital, use |spell=In, |spell=On

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=In}} → ڏهہ (ten) ميل (16٬000 m)
• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=On}} → ڏهہ (ten) ميل (سورنهن (sixteen) هزار m)

Remember that the spelling of the units (ft, m) is independently set by |abbr=. To the extreme:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on|abbr=off|sp=us}} → ڏهہ (ten) ميل (سورنهن (sixteen) هزار ميٽر)

Inserted before units: 4 planted acres

• {{convert|4|acre||adj=pre|planted}} → 4 planted acre (1.6 ha)

disp=preunit is similar, but has no separator after the specified text, and can have different text for the output value:

• {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted }} → 4 planted acre (1.6 planted ha)
• {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted |reforested-}} → 4 planted acre (1.6 reforested-ha)

After adjective unit: A 10-فٽ-long corridor

Note that two units (in this case, ft and m) are required. Use with just one unit will generate an error message.

{{convert|10|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} → 10-فٽ-long (3.0 m)

Plurals: 1 inch, 2 inches

The unit symbol is singular always. Depending on the preceding number only, a unit name can be shown plural.

• {{convert|1|metre}} → 1 metre
• {{convert|2|metre}} → 2 metre
• {{convert|2|metre|abbr=on}} → 2 metre

Exception

Entering the unit spelled |foot| forces singular output "foot", whatever the number is.

• {{convert|100|foot|abbr=off}} → 100 فٽ (30 ميٽر)

Fractions: one-eighth of an imperial pint

The convert template also supports spelling out fractions.

• {{convert|3+1/2|oz|g|spell=in}} → ٽي (three) and a half اونس (99 g)

Any additional words needed for the fraction can also be added at the end of the template.

• {{convert|1/8|imppt|ml|spell=in|adj=pre|of an}} → one-eighth of an رنگ فيطانوي (71 ml)

Wrapping and line breaking

See Help:Convert § Wrapping and line breaking

Numbers

Using an SI prefix: gigameter (Gm), or micrometer (μm)

سانچو:Sidebar metric prefixes (small) Units can have an SI prefix like G before the unit: Gm, and giga before the name: gigameter. These are plain multiplication factors.

To illustrate, these are trivial calculations (from meter to meter), showing the multiplication factor:

• 12 Gm (1.2×10¹⁰ m)
• 12 µm (1.2×10⁻⁵ m)

The prefix can be added before the SI unit (here: unit m for meter):

• {{convert|12|Gm|mi|abbr=on}} → 12 Gm (7٬500٬000 mi)
• Mm: 12 Mm (7٬500 mi)
• km: 12 km (39٬000 ft)
• mm: 12 mm (0.47 in)
• μm: 12 µm (0.012 mm)
• um: 12 µm (0.012 mm) (letter "u" can be used for "μ" here)

The prefix can be used in the output unit:

• {{convert|12000|mi|Mm|abbr=on}} → 12٬000 mi (19 Mm)
• {{convert|12|in|μm|abbr=on}} → 12 in (300٬000 µm)

As an exception, the non-SI unit "inch" can have the "μ" prefix too)

• {{convert|12|μm|μin|abbr=on}} → 12 µm (470 µin)

مزید معلومات: Help:Convert units § SI prefixes

Engineering notation: 7 × 10⁶ m

In the unit: e6m

Engineering number notations like 7E6 (for 7 × 10⁶) can be entered as a "prefix" to the unit:

• {{convert|7|e6m}} → 7 ملين ميٽر (23٬000٬000 ft)

The same is possible for the output unit:

• {{convert|23,000,000|ft|e6m}} → 23٬000٬000 فٽ (7.0×10^⁶ m)

Any standard unit (not a combination, multiple, or built-in unit) can have such a prefix:

• e3 (thousand),
• e6 (million),
• e9 (billion),
• e12 (trillion),
• e15 (quadrillion).

Scientific notation: 1.23 × 10⁻¹⁴

In scientific notation, a number is written like سانچو:Rnd/e−. The plain number has exactly one digit before the decimal point.

With {{convert}}, the input can be in e-notation such as 12.3e4. This value is displayed as a power of ten, and the output is displayed in scientific notation, except that an output value satisfying 0.01 <= v < 1000 is shown as a normal number. In addition, if the output value is 1000 and sigfig=4 is used, the value is displayed as a normal number.

• {{convert|12.3e-15|atm|atm|abbr=on}} → 12.3e-15 atm (1.23×10⁻¹⁴ atm)
• {{convert|0.00000005|atm|atm|abbr=on}} → 0.00000005 atm (5.0×10⁻⁸ atm)

Input with fractions: 1 ¹⁄₂ انچ (38.1 mm)

The number to convert can be written in fractions. Both / (keyboard slash) and ⁄ (fraction slash) are accepted:

• {{convert|1/2|in|mm|1}} → ¹⁄₂ انچ (12.7 mm)
• {{convert|1⁄2|in|mm|1}} →

With positive mixed numbers (a positive integer and a fraction), use a + sign

• {{convert|2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}} →

With negative mixed numbers, use a hyphen - and repeat it:

• {{convert|-2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} →

Note that the following cases are not interpreted as mixed numbers:

• {{convert|2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → . This is interpreted as a range from 2 inches to 1⁄2 inch.
• {{convert|-2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → N This is neither a mixed number nor a range, and mathematical expressions requiring calculations are not allowed here.

Output with horizontal fraction bar in: سانچو:Sfrac inch

Using a double slash (//) returns a horizontal bar fraction:

• {{convert|1//2|in|mm|1}} → 1/2 انچ (12.7 mm)
• {{convert|2+1//2|in|mm|1}} → 2 1/2 انچ (63.5 mm)

Thousands separator: 1,000 mi or 1000 mi

In input, a comma for thousands separator is accepted but not required; a gap (space) is not accepted. In output, by default, the thousand separator is the comma:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} → 1٬234٬567 ميٽر (4٬050٬417 ft)
• {{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}} → 1٬234٬567 ميٽر (4٬050٬417 ft)
• {{convert|1 234 567|m|ft}} → N

Set |comma=off to remove the separator from the output:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=off}} → 1٬234٬567 ميٽر (4٬050٬417 ft)

Use |comma=gaps to use digit grouping by gap (thin space) as a thousands separator:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}} → 1234567 ميٽر (4050417 ft)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} → 1٬234٬567 ميٽر (4٬050٬417 ft)

Setting |comma=5 will only add the separator when the number of digits is 5 or more:

• {{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1234 ميٽر (4049 ft)
• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1٬234٬567 ميٽر (4٬050٬417 ft)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1234|m|ft}} → 1٬234 ميٽر (4٬049 ft)

Output manipulation

Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]

Punctuation that distinguishes the two measurements is set by |disp=.
Options are: b (the default), sqbr, comma, or, br, x|…:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}} → 10 ميٽر [33 ft]
• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}} → 10 ميٽر، 33 ft
• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}} → 10 ميٽر يا 33 فٽ

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 ميٽر (33 ft)

Setting |disp=br will force a new line (<br/>)

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}} → 10 ميٽر
  33 فٽ

Also |disp=br() will force a new line, and keep the brackets (useful in tables):

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br()}} → 10 ميٽر (33 ft)

Setting |disp=x|… allows any text as separator:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}} → 10 ميٽر_MyText_33 ft (To display spaces, use  )

Flipping (reordering) the two measurements: 1٬609.3 ميٽر (1 ميل)

Setting |order=flip will flip (swap) the two measurements:

• {{convert|1|mi|m|order=flip}} → 1٬609.3 ميٽر (1 ميل)

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1|mi|m}} → 1 ميل (1٬609.3 ميٽر)

When converting to multiple units, the effect is:

• {{convert|10|km|mi nmi|order=flip}} → 6.2137 ميل; 5.3996 ميل سامونڊي (10 ڪلوميٽر)
• {{convert|10|km|nmi mi|order=flip}} → 5.3996 ميل سامونڊي; 6.2137 ميل (10 ڪلوميٽر)

Fixed ordering of output units: 100 °C (212 °F; 100 °C; 373 K)

Setting |order=out shows the output-units as ordered; the input unit is skipped:

• {{convert|100|C|F C K|abbr=on|order=out}} → 100 °C (212 °F; 100 °C; 373 K)
• {{convert|200|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on|order=out}} → 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp)

See also: § Displaying parts of the output.

Displaying parts of the result: 2 (1.5)

It is possible to display only parts of the conversion result:

Convert	Output	Returns
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3}}	2 يارڊ ڪيوبڪ (1.5 m3)	Regular output (for comparison)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|abbr=values}}	2 (1.5)	Input and output numbers
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit}}	يارڊ ڪيوبڪ	Input unit
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit|adj=on}}	يارڊ-ڪيوبڪ	Input unit, adjective (hyphenated)
{{convert|2|cuyd|cuyd|disp=out}}	2.0 cu yd	Input (workaround. Note repetition of unit in input)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|abbr=~}}	2 يارڊ ڪيوبڪ (cu yd, 1.5 m3)	Input: both name and symbol
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit2}}	m3	Output unit (symbol)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit2|abbr=off}}	ڪيوبڪ ميٽر	Output unit (name)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=number}}	1.5	Output value
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=out}}	1.5 m3	Output value and unit name
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=out|abbr=off}}	1.5 ڪيوبڪ ميٽر	Output value and unit symbol

Display both input name and symbol: 2 kilopascals [kPa]

Setting |abbr=~ returns both name and symbol of the first (input) unit:

• {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~}} → 2 ڪلوپاسڪال (kPa, 0.29 psi)
• A {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~|adj=on}} pressure → A 2-ڪلوپاسڪال (kPa, 0.29 psi) pressure

Table options

For the wikitable structure, there are three options: add a line-break, split the result over columns and make the table sortable.

Enforced line break

|disp=br adds a line-break and omits brackets.

|disp=br() adds a line-break and does add brackets to the converted value. This may be useful in tables:

|disp=br	|disp=br()
100 ڪلوميٽر 62 ميل	100 ڪلوميٽر (62 mi)

Table columns showing numbers only

Using {convert} in a table cell, with |disp=table splits the result over two columns:

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}} →

align="right"|10

|align="right"|33

|disp=tablecen does the same, and also centers the text:

{{convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}} →

align="center"|20

|align="center"|66

The units are added as a column header:

	m	ft
|disp=table	10	33
|disp=tablecen	20	66
|disp=<other> (default)	30 ميٽر (98 ft)

Sorting

Use |sortable=on to include a hidden numerical sortkey in the output, suitable for use in a table with sortable columns. Technically, this places a hidden string before the actual displayed values:

{{convert|10|m|ft|sortable=on}} → <span style="display:none">7001100000000000000</span>10 metres (33&nbsp;ft)

Use both |disp=table and |sortable=on together to produce table columns (pipe symbols) for each value in sortable columns:

	m	ft
A	700115750000000000015 3⁄4	52
B	700115500000000000015.5	51
C	700116000000000000016.0	52.5
D	700116000000000000016	52

The generated sortkey is calculated in a consistent way based on both the value and its unit as passed to the convert template. In most cases convert uses the passed value converted to SI base units. It is therefore not necessarily the displayed value or other alternate units and is calculated regardless of output format options. Using different units or different order of units in individual rows should therefore not lead to incorrect sorting, although variations in rounding can give surprising results, since an unrounded number is used for the sortkey.

Units

The conversion factors and physical constants are sourced here.

All units

See also: Convert/list of units

Units are case-sensitive: use kW, not سانچو:!xt or سانچو:!xt

'per' units: kg/hl

When using a slash (/), a unit like kg/hl is recognized as kilograms per hectolitre and will be converted with other mass/volume units.

• {{convert|1000|kg/hl}} → 1٬000 kg/hl

===

Units of difference: Expressing a change or difference in temperature=== We have already discussed standard temperature conversions (°C, °F, K), as shown in these two examples:

• {{convert|10|C}} → 10 °C (50 °F) (standard temperature conversion)
• {{convert|10–15|C}} → 10–15 °C (50–59 °F) (standard temperature range conversion)

When expressing a temperature change (e.g., "The temperature increased by 10 °C"), or when comparing temperatures (e.g., "10 to 15 °C warmer"), we cannot use the standard temperature units (|C, |F and |K), which refer to points on the respective scale. Instead, we must use one of the following "units of difference": |C-change, |F-change and |K-change.

Compare the following two examples with the two above:

• {{convert|10|C-change}} → 10 °C (18 °F) increase in temperature
• {{convert|10–15|C-change}} → 10–15 °C (18–27 °F) warmer than normal

To produce multiple units in the output:

• {{convert|10|C-change|F-change K-change}} → 10 °C (18 °F; 10 K) difference

Multiple units: 1 ft 5 in

In input

Base document سانچو:Slink lists options for multiple unit input (like ft,in). It can catch predefined sets only (units that can be subdivided; e.g., yd into ft):

• {{convert|1|yd|2|ft|3|in}} → 1 يارڊ 2 فٽ 3 انچ (1.60 m)
• {{convert|2|ft|3|in|cm}} → 2 فٽ 3 انچ (69 cm)
• {{convert|1|lb|5|oz|g}} → 1 پائونڊ 5 اونس (600 g)

In output

Available multiple-unit output options predefined, like ftin and ydftin. The full list is at سانچو:Slink.

• {{convert|2|m|ftin}} → 2 ميٽر (6 ft 7 in)
• {{convert|2|m|ft in}} → 2 ميٽر (6.6 ft; 79 in), using a space, returns the decimal point

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|2|m}} → 2 ميٽر (6 ft 7 in)

See also:

• {{hands}} a length used to measure horses
• {{Long ton}} a weight in ton, cwt, qr and lb

Currency per unit: $/mi → $/km

Using currency symbols in a $ per unit value, you can convert the per-unit:

• {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km}} → $10 في ميل ($6.2/km)

You can set the currency in both values using |$=€:

• {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km|$=€}} → $10 في ميل ($6.2/km)

It is not possible to convert the currency. So, this result (mixed currencies) is not possible: سانچو:!mxt N

Using convert inside templates

For usage in template code, like infoboxes, {{Convert}} has these options:

Pre-formatting fraction input

• Module:Convert/helper can read regular input and pre-format it into {{Convert}}-accepted input.

Your template can accept |input=16 7/8 and use {{#invoke:Convert/helper|number|16 7/8}} →

Using a Wikidata property

• Adding the Wikidata property code, like code |input=P2073, to your template code automatically returns the Wikidata property for that article, and convert it. Both number and unit are read.

Note: to return that property value for an other article, use |qid=.

Example for سانچو:Wikidata property link: Note: this example uses |qid=Q1056131 (testing for (Q1056131))

• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|ftin|abbr=on}} →
• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on}} →
• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on|disp=out}} →

For example see template:Infobox Telescope.
