Thou (Mil) to Millimeter Converter

1 Thou (Mil) = 0 Millimeter

Thou (Mil) (mil) to Millimeter (mm) Conversion

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 Millimeter (mm) is perfect for very small measurements like the thickness of a credit card (0.76 mm), the diameter of a pencil lead (0.5-0.7 mm), or the size of small hardware components. Commonly used in engineering, jewelry design and manufacturing.
