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. The Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph).
To convert between Thou (Mil) (mil) and Mile (mi), use the following formulas:
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 1.5782828282828283e-8 Mile (mi)
1 Mile (mi) = 63360000 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 mil = 1 * 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi = 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi
5 mil = 5 * 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi = 7.891414141414142e-8 mi
10 mil = 10 * 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi = 1.5782828282828283e-7 mi
50 mil = 50 * 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi = 7.891414141414141e-7 mi
100 mil = 100 * 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi = 0.0000015782828282828283 mi
500 mil = 500 * 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi = 0.000007891414141414141 mi
1000 mil = 1000 * 1.5782828282828283e-8 mi = 0.000015782828282828283 mi
