The Foot (ft) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring medium distances. For example, the height of a table is about 3 feet, a door is usually 6.5 feet tall, and a basketball hoop is 10 feet high. It’s widely used in construction, real estate, and everyday life. 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 Foot (ft) and Thou (Mil) (mil), use the following formulas:
1 Foot (ft) = 12000 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 0.00008333333333333333 Foot (ft)
1 ft = 1 * 12000 mil = 12000 mil
2 ft = 2 * 12000 mil = 24000 mil
3 ft = 3 * 12000 mil = 36000 mil
5 ft = 5 * 12000 mil = 60000 mil
10 ft = 10 * 12000 mil = 120000 mil
15 ft = 15 * 12000 mil = 180000 mil
20 ft = 20 * 12000 mil = 240000 mil
