Decimal Conversion Chart

Decimal Conversions

Our decimal conversion chart provides a fast and reliable reference for converting measurements. Whether you want to convert inches to mm to find the right drill size or drill size to tap size, you can trust these charts for accurate measurements.

We’ve compiled charts with decimal equivalents for:

  • Drill size: This chart is a list of the most common standard-sized drill bits and their metric and imperial equivalents. As the gauge number increases, the millimeter and inch measurements decrease.
  • Tap drill size: Tap drill conversions take into account the pitch and the thread diameter. Our chart aligns tap size, drill size and probable thread percentage — the expected depth of thread to balance fastener strength and torque.
  • Pipe tap drill size: Our pipe tap drill conversion chart ensures the proper thread taper and depth. Reference National Pipe Taper (NPT) measurements for tapered threads and National Pipe Straight (NPS) for straight threads.

Reference our decimal conversion charts below.

Precision You Can Rely On

Accuracy is essential in professional trades, so measurements must be precise. Small errors in converting mm to inches or other calculations can lead to critical errors that increase costs or delay the timeline. We simplify the measurement conversion process with our decimal conversion chart.

At Meritus Gas Partners, we understand the importance of precision in measurements, as does our network of suppliers. Our company and suppliers value the same level of precision and reliability that you do. In addition to accuracy, we provide exceptional service. When you need industrial gases or welding supplies, our distributors are ready to supply what you are looking for. With many locations across the U.S., our partners can provide the service of a local business backed by the resources of a major company.
