Important note

The calculation is performed locally from the listed unit definitions. Display results are rounded for readability; high-precision and regulated work should use the governing standard and appropriate significant figures.

For high-precision, regulated or safety-critical use, check the underlying standard and its required precision. Historical and approximate units are identified in their names or family descriptions.
