Useful Online Calculators
« on: January 31, 2006, 11:10:25 am »
I find that many people spend more time using Google or other search engines to search for sites that have convertors. In most cases it's not necessary when Google already has a built-in converter! Here are a few keyword examples to enter in Google's search bar:

2 + 2 =

Quote
2 + 2 = 4


150 USD in CAD

Quote
150 U.S. dollars = 172.034921 Canadian dollars


155 bar in psi

Quote
155 bar = 2 248.08493 pounds per square inch


All FireFox web browsers have a Google search bar embedded in the upper right side of the window so this is a snap.

Torque or HP conversions (note: case & keyword sensitive):

1 N m in ft lb

Quote
1 (N m) = 0.737562149 ft lb



1 HP in Kw

Quote
1 HP = 0.745699872 kilowatts


Some other units like PSI and Bar are not case-sensitive. If you're unable to get the conversion you wanted in Google then try searching for a different conversion website.
