    That's mixing up two systems.
    If you keep the systems seperate:

    Imperial: 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 5280 feet in a mile etc..
    Also, when you go volume, 1 CY = 27 CF = 201.9 galon = 807.8 qt etc.
    = confusing and difficult

    Metric: 1,000 mm in a meter, 1,000 meter in a km.
    i.e 1km = 1,000m=1,000,000mm
    Volume: 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liter
    = easy

    Metric wins.

    You would be surprised at how many don't.

    To a good percentage of the population, a "kilo" is nothing more than a bundle of drugs that they can't afford.

    ID vs OD...
    Not unlike the specification for pipe thread vs machine thread.
    1/2" pipe thread is larger than a 3/4" machine thread... a 3/4" rod will actually pass through a 1/2" pipe threaded opening.

    upon further inspection, it's actually the imperial "measurements" that are out of wack.
    1/2" EMT is actually 0.622" (within 0.003" of 5/8") or 15.8mm inside diameter, same with 1/2" PVC and rigid.

    1/2" - 16mm the inside diameter is a fraction under 16mm in all sizes except for Sch 80 PVC and intermediate.

    Same for 3/4" - 21mm

    That holds until you get to the larger sizes, where the wall thickness changes leaves us with only Rigid and Sch 40 PVC matching, but the ID does in fact match the metric trade size within 0.5mm

    Yes, 1/2" is 12mm and not 16mm... but it's the imperial system that's fucked up, not the metric designation.

    He's still using his old 8-bit calculator.
    It won't accept a number larger than 255 so he has to convert to Imperialistic once speeds get to 159mph :D

    I enjoy using the metric system...problem is the rest of the industry doesn't...only bits and pieces.
    I just enjoy rustling his feathers.
