Convert to inches and gallons please?

Gallons? Must have missed something and am too lazy to read the entire
thread...

I didn't see it either. Lazy times two = 2 lazy.

Anyhow... I disagree with the numbers above. You convert by 25.400072 or
25.400074? Here is what I get:

540mm = 21.25984251968503937007874015748"
600mm = 23.622047244094488188976377952756"

Based on 25.4000 conversion... LOL and an evil grin.

I just copied the CONVERTER results, don't know what it's formula is.
But I use the other conversion 0.03937*mm=inches. Then you get 21.2598
and 23.622 which is the same, rounded off.

Regardless, there is no perceivable difference between the two unless you
are in some super-industry that needs the tolerances that close.

I would certainly agree with that, especially in regards to the original
post.
