Inch dimension
Inch dimensions are found on technical components whose dimensions are not defined according to the metric system, but in inches. While only a few countries in the world still use inch measurements for official use, in some areas of technology, measurements in inches are widely used worldwide. This is often due to historical developments.
Examples of the predominant use of imperial dimensions are as follows:
- Screen diagonals
- Pipe threads and fittings
- Frame heights and wheel diameters of bicycles
- Ratchet wrench with square drive
Inch dimensions can be converted to the metric system using a conversion formula and vice versa. However, this may result in rounding errors.
