How to Convert Inches to Millimeters?

1 inch is equal to 25,4 millimeters:

1″ = 25,4 mm

d(mm) = d(inch) / 25,4

Examples

Example 1:

In electrical engineering, precise measurements are crucial. Let’s say you have a wire with a diameter of 5.5 millimeters and you need to convert it to inches to ensure compatibility with American wire gauge standards.

Formula:

1 inch = 25.4 millimeters

Calculation:

d(mm) = d(inch) / 25,4 = 5.5 / 25.4 ≈ 0.2165 inches

Example 2:

Imagine you have a carpentry project, and you need to convert a measurement from millimeters (mm) to inches. Let’s say you have a wooden plank that measures 750 millimeters in length. To convert this to inches, you can use the following formula:

d(mm) = d(inch) / 25,4 = 750 mm / 25.4 ≈ 29.53 inches

Therefore, your wooden plank is approximately 29.53 inches long.
