Yes, don't forget the Cubit and the Ell as measurements of length. And what's wrong with the Oxgang as a measurement of areawe could start using poles, chains, furlongs and perch again if were not careful
I do this, and I sometimes work with a mate who is roughly my age who does the same so you can regularly hear. " I need a piece of 6mm plate 42 and 3/4" by 455mm. It drives the youngsters mad.I use both, i'll measure a piece of wood 27" x 140mm because it's nearest on the tape measure, can't remember the last time i used 1/8ths or 1/16ths
4 poles/perch to a chain. 10 chains to a furlong, 8 furlongs to a mile.I know what a furlong times a chain is and have a calculator.
Yes, nominal bore of 1" schedule 40 pipe is 1".1" as we call mechanic inches is 25.4mm
1" pipe is 32mm
1" tubing is if memory serves well 25.4mm inner diameter or it was 32mm inner diameter
I used to drive the storeman at the shipyard i worked at mad by writing stuff like that downI do this, and I sometimes work with a mate who is roughly my age who does the same so you can regularly hear. " I need a piece of 6mm plate 42 and 3/4" by 455mm. It drives the youngsters mad.
Hydraulic hoses another entire world.Because I am german most metric.
Except of hydraulic threading.
Some clever engineers invented M16x1.5mm very near to 3/8“.
You can get it together in some ways.
(I scrapped all the metric fittings in my work). But hose side threading is metric anyway .
I tend to measure in bananas as CCE did .
Yep, an acre!I know what a furlong times a chain is and have a calculator.
Aren't the DIN standard pipe threads actually BSP?Because I am german most metric.

I don’t think so.Aren't the DIN standard pipe threads actually BSP?
3-2-1...simple, works with any volumetric system.Last week I had to calculate dry ballast and cement volumes required to make up a volume of wet cement.
Did all that in metric!
From the web:I don’t think so.
Any system is absolutely different.
We got metric and bsp on mating side.
Hose side are mad. EU, French, GB, JP, US…
In hydraulic systems there is also a difference between light and heavy.
They will never ever be standardized.
