METRIC CONVERSION CHART (UK) - Length, Area, Volume, Weight and Liquid Capacity

Oct 22, 2026

Metric conversion chart for the UK, providing quick reference equivalences across length (centimetres, decimetres, metres, kilometres), area (square centimetres, square metres, hectares, square kilometres), volume (cubic centimetres, cubic decimetres, cubic metres), and weight (grams, decagrams, kilograms, tonnes/megagrams, gigagrams). It also includes liquid capacity conversions between centilitres, decilitres, litres and kilolitres, with both full units and common abbreviations for fast lookup.
