DDUnitConverter
A simple library for converting a value from one unit to another.
Usage
Simply copy the "DDUnitConverter" subfolder into your project, and #import "DDUnitConversion.h".
You can do the actual conversions like so:
NSNumber * value = [[DDUnitConverter velocityUnitConverter] convertNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:100]
fromUnit:DDVelocityUnitMilesPerHour
toUnit:DDVelocityUnitFurlongsPerMicrofortnight];
Precision
DDUnitConverter does all its transformations using NSDecimalNumber, so your precision is limited to anything NSDecimalNumber can handle.
