How Do You Convert Inches Of Water To Mm Of Water?
You can convert water depth from inches to millimeters (mm) by simply multiplying by 25.4. Because millimeters are much closer spaced, you’ll want to take as accurate of a reading of the inches as possible. Measure the water by looking at it from the side, seeing where the bottom of the curve that it makes falls on the inches markings (if any) on the side of the (presumably translucent) container. Water is attracted to the sides of its container, forming a curve called a “meniscus.” You don’t want to measure the rise around the edges. Put the inches in decimal form. For example, if your reading is 1 1/4, then record it as 1.25. Multiply the inches by 25.4, to get the number of millimeters. This conversion factor is actually accurate to 9 significant figures (digits). Round your answer in Step 3 to however many significant figures your measurement in Step 2 was. For example, 1.25 inches has three significant figures, so you’d round 1.25 x 25.4 = 31.75 to 31.8. Check your work against an
