This page converts volumes and weights. If you need to convert lenghts, please click on "Lenght" (above). If you have the Shockwave plugin for Netscape, click here to open a window with a calculator to use for your calculations.
Sorry this page is a mess in Netscape. I don't know why the tables aren't centered. I have tried to figure it out for almost a year now. Its a dream in MSIE and a nightmare in Netscape. Please contact me if you have looked at my code and know what's wrong! Thanks.
