Overview

Convert imperial length measurements to metric instantly with customizable precision. This tool transforms feet into meters using the standard conversion factor, allowing you to specify decimal places from 0 to 10 for construction plans, engineering specs, or academic work.

When to use

Converting building dimensions, room sizes, or structural heights from imperial to metric units
Preparing technical documentation requiring specific decimal precision for manufacturing tolerances
Standardizing measurement data for international shipping, logistics, or scientific research

How it works

1Enter the length value in feet using decimal notation for fractional measurements
2Set your desired decimal precision between 0 and 10 places (defaults to 4)
3The tool multiplies the feet value by 0.3048 to calculate the exact meter equivalent
4Receive structured JSON output containing both the original input and converted metric value

Use cases

Architecture and construction projects requiring metric specifications from imperial blueprints
International logistics and freight calculations converting container or cargo dimensions
Academic physics and engineering labs standardizing measurement units for research data

Examples

1. Warehouse clearance documentation

Logistics coordinator

Background

A logistics coordinator needs to submit warehouse height clearances to international shipping partners who require metric measurements.

Problem

The facility has a 24-foot ceiling clearance that must be reported in meters with 2-decimal precision for EU compliance forms.

How to use

Enter '24' in the Feet field and set Decimal Precision to '2'.

Outcome

The tool returns 7.32 meters, which is copied directly into the shipping documentation.

2. Architectural floor plan conversion

Interior designer

Background

An interior designer is working on a historic building renovation where original measurements are in feet, but the construction team uses metric tools.

Problem

A room width of 15.5 feet needs to be communicated to contractors with millimeter accuracy (3 decimal places).

How to use

Input '15.5' in the Feet field and set precision to '3'.

Outcome

Receives 4.724 meters, allowing the contractor to program CNC cutting machines to exact specifications.

FAQ

What conversion formula does this tool use?

It uses the international standard of 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.

Can I convert values that include inches, like 5 feet 6 inches?

Convert inches to decimal feet first (divide by 12), then enter the total. This tool accepts decimal feet only.

What is the maximum precision available?

You can configure up to 10 decimal places for high-precision engineering or scientific applications.

Is the output format suitable for API integration?

Yes, the tool returns clean JSON with labeled fields for easy parsing in automated workflows.

Does the tool support batch conversion of multiple values?

No, convert one value at a time. For bulk conversions, process each measurement individually.
