Template } converts a value from one unit of measurement to another. This page documents some features of units, and lists units that are commonly used in conversions ...
By default, the output value is rounded to adjust its precision to match that of the input. An input such as 1234 is interpreted as 1234 ± 0.5, while 1200 is interpreted as 1200 ± 50, and the output value is displayed accordingly, taking into account the scale factor used in the conversion.
By {{Convert}} default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the ...

Example (inch, coarse): For size 7 ⁄ 16 (this is the diameter of the intended screw in fraction form)-14 (this is the number of threads per inch; 14 is considered coarse), 0.437 in × 0.85 = 0.371 in. Therefore, a size 7 ⁄ 16 screw (7 ⁄ 16 ≈ 0.437) with 14 threads per inch (coarse) needs a tap drill with a diameter of about 0.371 inches.
Convert from inches: {{convert | 60 | to | 62 | in | hand cm | 2}} → 60 to 62 inches (15.0 to 15.2 hands; 152.40 to 157.48 cm) Using a full three-way conversion (hands, inches and centimeters) in all cases is strongly recommended, regardless of which measurement is given first.
A thousandth of an inch is a derived unit of length in a system of units using inches. Equal to 1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch, a thousandth is commonly called a thou / ˈ θ aʊ / (used for both singular and plural) or, particularly in North America, a mil (plural mils). The words are shortened forms of the English and Latin words for "thousand" (mille ...
