Hi Guys,
I am looking for a chart that I can print out of a conversion chart of Celcius to Ferinhite. I need it for my temperature gage on my forge. A search on the web seemed useless. Any Ideas!!!
 
maybe google's theme music should be "I'll be there for you" :P

interesting conversions there Danno, I never knew there were so many cubits in a light year.

Or that "township" is a measurement of area rather than just a collection of houses surround the local pub :O
 
No prob Lou, beaten by the Kiwis ;-)
Thank god we can beat the All Blacks still.
Cheers Kiwi ;)
 
"Or......you could learn metric.

I live in a country that has been metricated for decades... Even still, the evils of the other systems still haunt us and we still have to make use of conversions regularly! For anyone who needs a general converter. google 'convert' and look for a free software utility. We use it in engineering and its very useful
 
I personally find the imperial system to be much more intuitive on the whole. Of course this is from someone who's first thumb knuckle is 1.5", shoe length 12", elbow to wrist 10", elbow to fingertip 18", pinkie width .5"...etc. So I can just use my body to measure things and be able to know that it's pretty accurate.
 
That's because you grew up with it, not because of the length of your bodyparts. Objectively, metric is a far superior system and that's why it's used basically everywhere else in the world as the standard within the global and scientific community.
 
I look at it more like latin. Latin is another standerdized sytem used within the scientific community. Why? Because it's better? No, just because it's convenient for people to use, no one really has an advantage with it. In the same way the metric system in inconvenient, because it is based not upon the human body like the imperial system but on a collection of esoteric facts that have almost no real world application. Also this entire conversation is a moot point because the actual metric unit of temperature is the kelvin, not celcius.
 
Metric is easier to use in that you don't have to be a hillbilly to count to the end of a unit, 10 is more intutive than 12 when using most peoples fingers :D

I use both imperial and metric lengths. 1.8m of 2x4 or 4 foot of 150x25mm timber for example. but untill i got into knifemaking and started learning heat treating I had never use farenheigt. now I think in terms of *F for metal and *C for everything else.
 
" hillbilly ....10 fingers " actually the hillbillies in WV might have 12 fingers !! The mile is actually a ancient Roman measure and that is why the famous road race the " Mille Miglia" was named.
