Conversion Definitions
in (inch): An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to exactly 2.54 centimeters or 25.4 millimeters. It is commonly used in the United States and United Kingdom to measure short distances, sizes, and dimensions of objects.
mm (millimeter): A millimeter is a metric system unit of length equal to one thousandth of a meter. It is widely used around the world for precise measurements in engineering, manufacturing, and everyday objects, representing very small distances or thicknesses.
Conversion FAQs
Why is one inch exactly 25.4 millimeters?
The inch was internationally standardized as exactly 25.4 millimeters in 1959 among English-speaking countries to unify measurements and reduce discrepancies. Before that, inches varied slightly by region, but 25.4 mm became the fixed, legal definition.
Can I convert inches to millimeters without a calculator?
Yes, you can estimate by multiplying inches by 25 and then adding a bit more for the 0.4 part. For example, 151 inches times 25 is 3775, then add 151 times 0.4 (about 60), giving roughly 3835 mm. This quick math works for approximate conversions.
Are millimeters used in the US for measurements?
Millimeters are not common for everyday use in the US, where inches dominate, but they are used in technical fields like manufacturing, engineering, and science where metric units provide finer precision. Metric units are standard internationally.
What level of precision does the conversion provide?
Multiplying by 25.4 gives a precise conversion because the inch is exactly 25.4 millimeters. The decimals allow sub-millimeter precision if needed, which is important for detailed engineering or scientific work.
Is there a difference between international inch and US survey inch?
Yes, the international inch is exactly 25.4 mm, but the US survey inch is slightly different, about 25.4000508 mm, used in land surveying. The difference is very small but may matter in precise geospatial measurements.
