Find more conversion values with Google
Google is an invaluable tool for finding more conversion values to add to your table. To find the value for "Tablespoon (US)", for example, go to Google.com and type:
1 liter in tablespoons and submit. You'll get the handy results: 1 liter = 67.6280451 US tablespoons which you can use as your invLinForm() value. It works for just about any units you can think of. For fun, figure out and add a conversion to and from "Stones" in the "Weight" category!

Alternatively, use the command-line "units" program, which has been around for donkey's years and is included in Panther and Tiger (and probably earlier).

yeah, only hick with "units" is that it doesn't do temperature. No fahrenheit to celsius or vice versa.

I believe at least some versions of it now do. I don't know if the one that comes with OS X does.

I tried this method with tablespoons and teaspoons, and it worked great, except that when I converted 1 pint to teaspoons I got 95.9999 instead of 96. Not enough decimal places in the Google definition (the units program in Terminal has even less). So I looked around and found another site with one more decimal place: http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm. That one did the trick. |
