The IEEE Standards SI Metric Converter is based on the IEEE/ASTM American National Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System (IEEE/ASTM SI 10). The International System of Units (abbreviated SI) is the basis for worldwide standardization of measurement units. This application converts seven "base units": length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity, or combinations of these seven (called "derived units"). For example, the unit of speed can be expressed by the unit of length divided by the unit of time. Search for a derived unit (example: square meter) or select a base unit (example: area) to view its possible derived units. Calculations are expressed to a maximum of fifteen decimal points. DISCLAIMER: THIS APPLICATION IS FOR QUICK CALCULATIONS AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR INDUSTRIAL USE.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
