About Ulcer Units

A straightforward workspace for everyday measurements. Move between metric and imperial with the calculation in view.

Precision, made practical.

Ulcer Units brings 12 families of unit conversions into one accessible workspace. Select a measurement, enter a number, and compare it with other units in the same family.

How the calculations work

Each unit converts through a common base unit. Most conversions use a multiplication factor; temperature uses both a factor and an offset. Results display up to 12 significant digits and are approximate where floating-point arithmetic or rounding applies.

Definitions distinguish US and Imperial volumes, metric and mechanical horsepower, and standard and troy ounces. The notes on each converter explain the relevant conventions.

Built for everyday reference
