Make a lib class in /Lib where you put the basic conversion stuff. Then you either use it as Lib directly anywhere in your app (model etc) or you can extend it as a helper for your view level.

Check out how the core does it with CakeNumber and NumberHelper, CakeTime and TimeHelper and String and TextHelper. Analogously should you code your measurement conversion.
