Worth knowing
Millimetres dominate engineering drawings because whole numbers are easier to tolerance. That is why an imperial pipe labelled 1 inch appears as 25.4 mm on a technical drawing, and why mixing the two systems on one drawing is considered bad practice.
Questions people ask
32 inches are exactly 812.80 millimetres. The calculation is 32 × 25.4.
Multiply the value in inches by 25.4. To go the other way, divide the mm figure by the same number.
The conversion factor is defined by international standard, so the underlying result is exact. We round the display to a sensible number of decimal places, which is why you may see a slightly shorter figure than a calculator gives.
