Durametric
 

Anyone know how I can make my durametric read temps in Fahrenheit and not celcius?

bump? Anyone?

Don't complain - mine reads in Kelvin. :D

I'll check with mine when I get home this afternoon. :)

That is why they call it a DuraMETRIC. Conversion is not that difficult no? Manual that is.

Never thought about it that way before - that's funny! I just always thought of it as the other definition of metrics, as in a system of measurement.

LOL I bought the product in the US, I live in the US and would expect it to be Farenheit. Math is not my best subject. Maybe they should make a DuraUS!

Conversion of celsius to fahreneit
Multiply by 9 then
divide by 5 then
add 32.

You would think that the Durametric would have a conversion feature but possibly not. Hope this helps....

Durametric modeled their tool to give give the same units of measure that the factory (PIWIS) tools gives since the values outputted have those units.

It's simpler to goggle something like: 35C = F
and you will gen an immediate response..

You kids with your damn Google. Back in my day we used mathematics to solve our problems, and we liked it, we liked it just fine! :D

So, you like the British system of measurement, which by the way, isn't used in Britain? So tell me, what's the British unit for mass. Hmm, don't know? So why follow a system that makes no sense and no one uses?

By the way, mass is a slug in the Brit system. Do you also have a set of witworth wrenches?

........Huh?

I appreciate all the conversion things. Ialso now how to use the Internet. I think my point was missed. In US we use farenheit so why not just make the durametric in Fahrenheit for us US people? That way i don't have to mess with converting it...

My original question was is there a way to make the durametric show Fahrenheit...my question was NOT how do you convert celcius to Fahrenheit.

Excuse my sarcasm, well actually, no, I don't apologize. Get with the program. Celsius makes the most sense, water freezes at 0, boils at 100, it's the most logical system around. Tell me why you need F temps?

Ok you win...I guess since I grew up and have only ever used F then why would I not want a tool to read in F. You're right. I'm such an **************************** for thinking that way. You win...

I could give a crap about the logics. When I plug in my durametric and click on the oil temp...I don't want to have to convert it. But again. You have out smarted and out played me. Nice work!

trimer - I totally get it. It's like my outside temp reads in F, while all the rest of the dashboard except the analog speedo is metric. Even though I'm equally comfortable using F or C, it still bugs me and I would like it to be in C.

Truce. I apologize if I have offended you with my sarcasm, but seriously, the metric system makes so much sense and is really easy. 100C is boiling, a meter is about a yard, 100 km/hr is about 60 mph, a liter is about a quart.

Try it, you'll like it.

When are all us Florida owners going to make a weekend out of it?
