StandardToMetric Function:

The StandardToMetric function converts a US Standard Measure into a Metric Measure. There are three required arguments: standardmeasure, conversion and extensiontype. Standardmeasure: the US Standard measure to convert (This must be a number only)
Conversion: use the table below for values:
conversion argument converts:
in-cm inches to centimeters
ft-cm feet to centimeters
in-m inches to meters
yd-m yards to meters
mi-km miles to kilometers
oz-g ounces to grams
lbs-g pounds to grams
oz-kg ounces to kilogram
lbs-kg pounds to kilograms
pt-l pints to liters
qt-l quarts to liters
gal-l gallons to liters

Extensiontype is an integer that specifies the type of extension to append to the converted value:
Extensiontype argument (integer) extension
0 no extension
(answer will be a number only)
1 append the standard abbreviation
(g for grams, kg for kilograms, etc...)
2 append the word
(grams, kilograms)


Syntax:
string = StandardToMetric(standardmeasure, conversion, extensiontype)
Example Usage: 
<%
 ' translate 1oz to grams - no extension
response.write StandardToMetric(1, "oz-g", 0) & "<BR>"
 ' returns 28.35

 ' translate 1 mile to kilograms - abbreviated extension
response.write StandardToMetric(1, "mi-km", 1) & "<BR>"
 ' returns 1.61 km

 ' translate 1 foot to centimeters - full extension
response.write StandardToMetric(1, "ft-cm", 2) & "<BR>"
 ' returns 30.48 centimeters
