Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (mil) The mil is a unit of distance equal to 0.001 inch: a "milli-inch," in other words. Mils are used, primarily in the U.S., to express small distances and tolerances in engineering work. One mil is exactly 25.4 microns, just as one inch is exactly 25.4 millimeters. This unit is also called the thou. With the increasing use of metric units in the U.S., many machinists now avoid the use of "mil" because that term is also a handy slang for the millimeter. Unit Definition (meter) The meter is the basic unit of length adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites (approximately 1.094 yards). The meter is also the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second by definition
