How do you convert measurements to millimeters?

Answer 1

There is no way. Gauges are measurements left over from history when there were few accurate means of measuring. For example: Shotgun gauges: The number of round lead balls needed to make a pound. So a 1 gauge shotgun had a diameter just large enough to fire a 1 pound lead ball. A 12 gauge shotgun had a diameter just large enough so that 12 lead balls of its ammunition balls would equal a pound, and the biggest ball it could fire was 1/12 pound. Nutty huh? There are lots of sheetmetal and tube and wire gauges based on "how many sheets of some particular area would add up to some weight" or "how long a wire or tube would be some weight", etc. The ISO (metric) system tosses all these into the dustbin of history where they belong.

Answer 2

To convert measurements to millimeters, you need to know the conversion factor for the specific unit you are converting. For example, 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Simply multiply the measurement in the original unit by the appropriate conversion factor to get the measurement in millimeters.

Answer 3

1 centimeter = 10 millimeters.

Centimeters can be converted to millimeters by multiplying the number by 10 (or move the decimal point to the right one place).

There are 10 mm in a centimeter
To convert from centimeters (cm) to millimeters (mm) simply multiply by 10.

Answer 4

mili means a thousanth of, there are 1000 milimeters in a meter, just like theres 1000 mililitres in a litre.

so 10 meters = 1000 x 10 = 10,000mm

0.4 of a meter = 1000 x 0.4 = 400mm

etc...

Answer 5

if the measurement is in inches then multiply that number (if it's in feet convert to inches) by 25.4 and then it'll be in millimeters.

Answer 6

There are 1000 millimetres in one metre. Therefore, to convert metres to millimetres, multiply by 1000. For example, 5.7 metres is equal to 5.7 x 1000 = 5700 millimetres.

Answer 7

well if 1000 gauge = 0.254 millimeter all you have to do is complet the math. it is going to be tricky but it can be done

Answer 8

meter/1000=millimeter
