UnitCloud es un laboratorio local de medición para uso diario, ingeniería, TI, energía, movilidad y diseño.

Longitud

Inch, foot and mile use fixed factors. Errors usually come from early rounding or from mixing land miles and nautical miles.

nm, µm, mm, cm, m, km

Área

Area scales quadratically. A length factor is not automatically an area factor.

mm², cm², m², km², ha, acre

Volumen

Volume is robust for liquids. For dry ingredients it does not replace weighing because density and packing vary.

l

Unit
ml, cl, dl, l, m³, tsp

Masa

Pound is not always the same local unit. UnitCloud uses international avoirdupois values.

Tabla

g
Valores de destino

Unit
µg, mg, g, kg, t, oz

Temperatura

Temperature uses an offset. Fahrenheit and Kelvin are not pure factor units.

Tabla

°C
Valores de destino

Unit
°C, °F, K, °R

Datos

KB, MB and GB are decimal. KiB, MiB and GiB are binary. This distinction explains many apparent storage gaps.

Tabla

Unit
bit, B, KB, MB, GB, TB

Velocidad

Knots are nautical miles per hour. mph and knots are not interchangeable imperial speeds.

Tabla
Unidad base
m/s
Valores de destino
5
Unit
m/s, km/h, mph, kn, ft/s

Energía

Food calories are kilocalories. Utility bills use kilowatt-hours. Both are energy units, but in different contexts.

Tabla
Unidad base
J
Valores de destino
8
Unit
J, kJ, Wh, kWh, cal, kcal

Potencia

PS and hp are not identical. Vehicle data often uses metric horsepower, while US/UK contexts often use mechanical horsepower.

Tabla
Unidad base
W
Valores de destino
6
Unit
W, kW, MW, PS, hp, BTU/h

Presión

bar, psi and atm appear in different fields. Tyre, weather and lab values need context.

Tabla
Unidad base
Pa
Valores de destino
8
Unit
Pa, kPa, MPa, bar, mbar, psi

Densidad

Density depends on temperature, material state and measurement conditions. Unit conversion does not replace material data.

Tabla
Unidad base
kg/m³
Valores de destino
4
Unit
kg/m³, g/cm³, g/l, lb/ft³

Tiempo

Calendar months and years vary. This family uses fixed seconds for technical durations, not legal deadlines.

Tabla
Unidad base
s
Valores de destino
7
Unit
ms, s, min, h, d, week

Ángulo

Degrees and radians are often mixed in software, geometry and trigonometry. Formulas usually expect a specific angle unit.

Tabla
Unidad base
rad
Valores de destino
6
Unit
rad, °, gon, turn, ′, ″

Fuerza

Force and mass are not the same. Kilogram is mass, newton is force.

Tabla
Unidad base
N
Valores de destino
5
Unit
N, kN, MN, lbf, kgf

Par

Torque is not power. Newton metre and hp/kW answer different questions.

Tabla
Unidad base
N·m
Valores de destino
4
Unit
N·m, lb·ft, lb·in, kgf·m

Consumo

mpg and l/100 km move in opposite directions. Higher mpg means lower consumption; higher l/100 km means higher consumption.

Tabla
Unidad base
l/100 km
Valores de destino

Unit
l/100 km, km/l, mpg US, mpg imp

Tipografía

px depends on output context. UnitCloud uses the CSS reference of 96 px per inch.

Tabla
Unidad base
pt
Valores de destino
6
Unit
pt, pc, in, mm, cm, px

Resolución de imagen

Pixel count and print density are different. Print sizes also need width, height and ppi.

Tabla

Frecuencia

rpm and bpm are events per minute. Hz is events per second.
