Inch Fractions to Millimeters Conversion Chart

Ok, this is just a helpful post for those who want to replace any size hose with sillicone or whatever. Yesterday I wanted to redo my vacuum lines and I knew that on our cars they are 3/16" but I had to order them in metric. Somewhere on the site it was incorrectly posted that 3/16" is 3.5mm, but I couldn't find 3.5mm hoses anywhere at the local auto supply stores. So just to double check I got on the internet and found a site that had the conversions posted. To my chagrin it turns out the 3/16" is actually 4.7mm! Anyway, I did find some 5mm hose and managemed to do the job (5mm is a little big, but with zip ties everthing is snug).

Anyway, all this is beside the point. What I want to do is post a copy of the chart I found so that anyone else who is looking for conversions can find them here on the site.

Cheers.

actually its 5/32(3.5) for the vac lines. 3/16 works on the actuator only and should reduce it down to a 5/32.

Moved to the 'General Tech' forum. This is helpful information for all vehicles, not just the MSP

Frikkin useless standard measurement. LOL...why does that still exist, and why does the supposed most advanced country in the world, the ONLY country that still uses it?
