What this tool does
Length is where metric and imperial systems collide most often: a drawing in millimetres, a supplier catalogue in inches, a running route in kilometres. This converter holds thirteen units on one exact base, so a value converted twice always comes back to where it started. The inch is defined as exactly 25.4 mm, and every imperial unit here follows from that definition rather than from a rounded factor.

Limitations
- US and imperial (UK) units with the same name are not the same size. Check which system your figures come from.
- The calculation runs at full precision and only the display is rounded. If you copy an intermediate value and retype it, small differences can appear.
