When to use inchesmillimeters

Inches to millimetres multiplies by 25.4 exactly. A 1/2 in pipe is 12.7 mm; a 1/4-20 UNC machine screw is 6.35 mm in major diameter. The factor is by definition (1959 international yard and pound agreement), so the conversion is lossless to any precision your input justifies. Watch for fractional inches: 3/8 in is 9.525 mm, not 9.5 mm — the half-millimetre matters when matching a metric drill bit to an imperial hole.

Gunsmiths chambering a rifle barrel work from a bore diameter spec given in inches by American manufacturers but the reamers and gauge pins used for the actual machining are frequently metric, sold in millimetre increments. A 0.308 in bore is 7.82 mm, distinct from the common 7.62 mm metric bore size by a small but load-bearing 0.2 mm — using the wrong reamer at this tolerance level ruins the barrel. Convert to four decimal places minimum; bore work has essentially no margin for rounding.

About the inch and the millimeter

The inch

The inch (in) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement. It is the standard unit in the US for screen sizes, lumber, fasteners, and personal height when given in feet-and-inches form. Twelve inches make one foot.

The millimeter

The millimeter (mm) is a metric unit of length equal to one-thousandth of a meter. It is the working unit of engineering drawings, precision manufacturing, electronics, and most consumer-goods specifications outside the United States. A credit card is about 0.76 mm thick; the diameter of a pencil lead is around 2 mm.
