Quick FAQ

What formula does the converter use?

It uses the exact relationship 1 inch = 25.4 millimeters. Millimeters are divided by 25.4 to get inches, and inches are multiplied by 25.4 to get millimeters.

Can I convert many values at once?

Yes. Paste one value per line in the batch area, choose the current direction, and run batch conversion.

How many decimals should I keep?

Use enough decimals for the drawing tolerance and process capability. Reference values can use fewer decimals than manufacturing control dimensions.
