Length and distance converter.
Convert feet, inches, centimetres, metres, yards, kilometres, miles, microns, millimetres and material gauge.
Length and distance converter inputs
Inch, foot, yard, metre and mile conversions are exact definitions. Gauge is only a selected microns-per-gauge screen; product gauge tables differ by material.
Method: Length values convert through metres. Gauge is not a universal physical unit, so its displayed micron equivalent is only a selected material convention.
Inputs used: Length = 1 m
Assumptions: The result uses the values, units and options shown in the input snapshot.
Scope and warnings: Inch, foot, yard, metre and mile conversions are exact definitions. Gauge is only a selected microns-per-gauge screen; product gauge tables differ by material. Rounding and excluded real-world terms can make an external result differ.
How this length and distance converter works
Length values convert through metres. Gauge is not a universal physical unit, so its displayed micron equivalent is only a selected material convention.
A worked example
One inch is exactly 2.54 cm and one mile is exactly 1.609344 km.
Can gauge identify every material thickness?
No. Wire, sheet and film gauge systems differ. Use a manufacturer thickness in millimetres or microns for purchasing.
Calculations run on your device. Review your results before exporting or sharing them.
Use millimetres for product thickness
Metres, feet, inches, yards, kilometres and miles use defined conversion factors. For thickness, millimetres or microns are more reliable than an unqualified gauge number.
Gauge differs among wire, metal sheet and film systems. Use the product data sheet before ordering material or designing a circuit.
