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. Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements.
To convert between Thou (Mil) (mil) and Megameter (Mm), use the following formulas:
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 2.54e-11 Megameter (Mm)
1 Megameter (Mm) = 39370078740.15748 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 mil = 1 * 2.54e-11 Mm = 2.54e-11 Mm
5 mil = 5 * 2.54e-11 Mm = 1.27e-10 Mm
10 mil = 10 * 2.54e-11 Mm = 2.54e-10 Mm
50 mil = 50 * 2.54e-11 Mm = 1.27e-9 Mm
100 mil = 100 * 2.54e-11 Mm = 2.54e-9 Mm
500 mil = 500 * 2.54e-11 Mm = 1.2700000000000001e-8 Mm
1000 mil = 1000 * 2.54e-11 Mm = 2.5400000000000002e-8 Mm
