Basic Metric Converter is a simple application that can help you perform conversions between numerous systems of measurement. It is designed to be novice-friendly and does not need to be installed on your PC before it is launched.

The program enables you to work with temperature, power, length, weight, energy, area, volume, speed, pressure and angles.

The available tools are organized into multiple categories, which are listed in separate tabs. You can enter a value into one of the two fields and then click the “Run” button to have the application convert it.

However, the result is not copied to the clipboard, and the original unit is lost if you try to select the converted value. Moreover, all the conversion results are cleared when switching to another tab, which can make it difficult to work on complex projects.

One of the main advantages offered by Basic Metric Converter is that it does not need to be installed on your PC before it is launched. Because of this, it is possible to store it on a USB drive and deploy it quickly on any system that meets the requirements.

Before attempting to run it, though, you need to make sure .NET Framework is installed on the host computer, as the program may not function correctly if the component is not available.

Basic Metric Converter was designed with functionality in mind, and it does its job quite well. The program is easy enough to use, although it would help it there was an easier way to extract the resulting values.

The interface is rather outdated, although this should not be a major issue for users who are looking for a simple unit converter.

Overall, Basic Metric Converter is a handy utility that can help you convert temperature, length, weight, speed, volume and various other units between multiple systems of measurement. It is fully portable, features a simple, if somewhat outdated interface, and is fairly easy to use.
