ALL THE FORMULAS YOU NEED TO MAKE LIFE EASIER
We know how frustrating it can be trying to convert imperial measurements to metric measurements (let’s be honest we’re all a little shaky on the formulas these days). Trying to figure out if a product from the US or China is spec'd right for your Kiwi machine can be an absolute nightmare. So we decided to try and make life a little easier for everyone by compiling all the unit conversion formulas we could think of into one convenient web page that can be bookmarked or printed off, for when you need accurate conversions in a hurry.
