Five new guides: tyre pressure, TV size, 10,000 steps, feet and pounds, soil and gravel
Five new guides: the right tyre pressure in psi and bar, TV width in cm, 10,000 steps in km, feet and pounds in cm and kg, and cubic metres and tonnes of soil, gravel and concrete.
Konvertera.nu has five new guides beyond the kitchen: on tyre pressure, TV sizes, 10,000 steps, height and weight in US units, and how much soil, gravel and concrete a project needs. Each guide answers the question first, has tables you can print and links to the converter for anyone who wants to run their own numbers. All five sit under More guides on the guides page, reached from Guides in the menu.
The five guides
Tyre pressure: the right pressure in bar and psi for cars, trailers and bikes
Where the correct tyre pressure is written, how psi, bar and kPa relate, and what applies in winter, with a load, for the trailer…
TV size in cm: width, height and viewing distance for 32 to 98 inches
The inch figure is the diagonal. Here are width and height in centimetres for every TV size, how far from the TV to sit,…
How far is 10,000 steps? Steps to km, time and calories
Step length decides: 10,000 steps is 6.5 to 8 km. Tables for steps to km and km to steps, step length by height, time…

How much soil, gravel or concrete do I need? Square metres to cubic metres and tonnes
Work out cubic metres and tonnes from area and depth, with weight per cubic metre for soil, gravel, crushed stone and concrete, bags per…
1 bar is 14.5 psi. A 65 inch TV is 144 cm wide and 81 cm high. 10,000 steps is about 7 km. 6 feet is 183 cm and 150 pounds is 68 kg. 10 m² of gravel in a 5 cm layer is 0.5 m³ and weighs about 0.75 tonnes.
Why these topics
Psi and bar, inches and centimetres, feet, pounds and cubic metres are among the most common conversions on the site. The questions behind them are about the car, the TV, the body and the building project, and a converter gives the number but not the context. The guides do: where the pressure is written, that the inch figure is the diagonal, that step length decides.
Where the numbers come from
The conversions use the same calculations as the site’s converters. The tyre pressure advice rests on Bilprovningen, NTF and the Swedish tyre industry’s information council, step length and calories on published research, and the weights of soil, gravel and concrete on the suppliers’ own figures. The guides link to their sources, and the TV measurements are plain geometry: an inch is 2.54 cm and the picture format 16:9.
Every table can be printed.
