ESBUnitConv Is A Comprehensive Unit Conversion Tool For Windows
Unit conversion can get a bit confusing, especially with the Standard System being used in the US and Metric System being used elsewhere. Whether US should adopt the Metric System has been the topic of debates since a long time. Arguments, both for and against, the Metric System can be found everywhere on the web, but as long as the US continues to use the Standard System, all the rest of the world will have to bear with it. While the default calculator included with Windows allows you to convert between some basic units, should you need to perform a conversion that the default calculator doesn’t allow, you have got to take a look in to Google. But what if you don’t have an internet access? That’s why it’s advisable to keep an offline tool with your, in case you need one.
