Technical Reference

Conversion Basis and Limits

One inch equals exactly 25.4 millimeters. Divide a millimeter value by 25.4 to obtain inches.

The converter does not add or remove drawing tolerances, surface finish allowances, kerf or machining stock.

Use the same reference dimension when comparing stainless steel sheet, plate, bar, pipe or tube requirements.

For formal purchasing, preserve the original unit and confirm the converted value against the drawing and supplier quotation.

ImportantUse the conversion to align documents, then confirm the required tolerance, finish and product form before requesting supply.

Calculation Method

Formula and Worked Example
