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 Nautical Mile is used for global navigation, equaling one minute of latitude (about 1.15 statute miles). Commercial airliners cruise at altitudes of 35,000-40,000 feet (about 6 nautical miles). Modern nautical charts still use this measurement, and international maritime law specifies territorial waters in nautical miles.
To convert between Thou (Mil) (mil) and Nautical Mile (nmi), use the following formulas:
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 1.3714902807775378e-8 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 72913385.82677165 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 mil = 1 * 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi = 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi
5 mil = 5 * 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi = 6.85745140388769e-8 nmi
10 mil = 10 * 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi = 1.371490280777538e-7 nmi
50 mil = 50 * 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi = 6.857451403887689e-7 nmi
100 mil = 100 * 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi = 0.0000013714902807775377 nmi
500 mil = 500 * 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi = 0.000006857451403887689 nmi
1000 mil = 1000 * 1.3714902807775378e-8 nmi = 0.000013714902807775378 nmi
