Thanks for the conversion table, just moved to Europe from U.S. having to convert all sorts of measurements. This table works great. Added to top of my favorite coversion list and am able to delete several others.
Your calculator brings up Imperial units of measure in both drop downs. I tried it in Chrome and IE.
Thanks for the conversion table, I printed it!!!
