Temperature Conversion Equations
- Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
- Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
- Example: Summer weather in Multan at 42°C = (42 × 1.8) + 32 = 107.6°F
Pakistan Regional Trade Units Explained
Specific traditional units remain deeply entrenched across wholesale and retail markets in Pakistan:
- Tola (Gold & Bullion): Standardized by Sarafa Markets in Karachi and Lahore as 11.664 grams (or 11.66g bullion standard).
- Maund / Man (Grain & Commodity): Official agricultural weight for wheat, cotton, and sugar cane set to exactly 40 kilograms in Pakistan (unlike 37.32kg in old colonial references).
- Marla & Kanal (Real Estate): Revenue records follow the Karam system (1 Karam = 5.5 feet, 1 Sq Karam = 30.25 sq ft, 9 Sq Karam = 1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft). Private developers (e.g. DHA/Bahria) often market 225 sq ft per Marla for compact plotting.
