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. Interplanetary distances (Jupiter is 588 Tm from the Sun). Mostly for astrophysics research.
To convert between Thou (Mil) (mil) and Terameter (Tm), use the following formulas:
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 2.54e-17 Terameter (Tm)
1 Terameter (Tm) = 39370078740157480 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 mil = 1 * 2.54e-17 Tm = 2.54e-17 Tm
5 mil = 5 * 2.54e-17 Tm = 1.27e-16 Tm
10 mil = 10 * 2.54e-17 Tm = 2.54e-16 Tm
50 mil = 50 * 2.54e-17 Tm = 1.27e-15 Tm
100 mil = 100 * 2.54e-17 Tm = 2.54e-15 Tm
500 mil = 500 * 2.54e-17 Tm = 1.27e-14 Tm
1000 mil = 1000 * 2.54e-17 Tm = 2.54e-14 Tm
