Most common unit conversions in Pakistan
Land area in Pakistan is commonly measured in kanals, marlas, and acres alongside the metric system. One kanal equals 20 marlas, one marla equals 272.25 square feet, and one kanal equals 5,445 square feet or approximately 505.9 square metres. When buying or selling property, always verify whether the seller is quoting in kanals, marlas, or square yards, as confusion between units is common. Gold is typically quoted per tola (11.664 grams) in Pakistan, while international gold prices are quoted per troy ounce (31.1035 grams).
Temperature conversion
Pakistan and India use Celsius for everyday temperatures. The US uses Fahrenheit. The conversion formulas are: Celsius to Fahrenheit — multiply by 9/5 then add 32. Fahrenheit to Celsius — subtract 32 then multiply by 5/9. Common reference points: 0°C = 32°F (freezing), 37°C = 98.6°F (human body temperature), 100°C = 212°F (boiling). Karachi's summer temperatures of 38 to 42°C correspond to 100 to 108°F.
Weight and measurement in Gulf countries
Gulf countries use the metric system officially. Grocery items are measured in kilograms and grams. However, in traditional markets, tola and mithqal are still used for gold. One mithqal equals 4.25 grams. For importing goods to Pakistan, customs declarations require weights in kilograms. Professional certifications and trade documents increasingly require metric units only.
