Convert Inches to Thou (mil)

Inches → Thou (mil)
in × 1000 = thou thou × 0.001 = in

To convert inches (in) to thou (mil) (thou), multiply the inches value by 1000. 1 in = 1000 thou, and 1 thou = 0.001 in. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert thou to in.
