The Millimeter (mm) is perfect for very small measurements like the thickness of a credit card (0.76 mm), the diameter of a pencil lead (0.5-0.7 mm), or the size of small hardware components. Commonly used in engineering, jewelry design and manufacturing. The Thou (also called Mil) is essential in precision engineering and manufacturing. For context, a standard sheet of paper is about 100 thou thick, while human hair measures approximately 20-30 thou in diameter. This unit is critical in machining tolerances, PCB design, and automotive engineering where exact measurements are crucial.
To convert between Millimeter (mm) and Thou (Mil) (mil), use the following formulas:
1 Millimeter (mm) = 39.37007874015748 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 0.0254 Millimeter (mm)
1 mm = 1 * 39.37007874015748 mil = 39.37007874015748 mil
8 mm = 8 * 39.37007874015748 mil = 314.96062992125985 mil
30 mm = 30 * 39.37007874015748 mil = 1181.1023622047244 mil
90 mm = 90 * 39.37007874015748 mil = 3543.3070866141734 mil
120 mm = 120 * 39.37007874015748 mil = 4724.4094488188975 mil
245 mm = 245 * 39.37007874015748 mil = 9645.669291338583 mil
559 mm = 559 * 39.37007874015748 mil = 22007.87401574803 mil
