Chuck,

25.4000 mm = 2.54000 cm = 1.0000 inch EXACTLY
1.094 yd = 1.000 meter
1.609 km = 1.000 mile

1.00 qt = 946 mL
3785 mL = 3.785 L = 1.000 US gallon

More practically for bead sizes:

1/16 inch = 1.6 mm approximately
3/32 inch = 2.4 mm approximately
1/8 inch = 3.2 mm approximately
5/32 inch = 3.87 mm approximately
1/4 inch = 6.35 mm
 this will at least give you a "feel" for the sizes.

That should get you through most of it... just don't ask me to convert between Euros and dollars...

I gotta restudy up on My metric  I know it takes about 101 or so mm to the inch... The small sized beads I have, when I lay them next to some (known sized) 2mm craft foam, seem to be the same thickness so I guess then, that is what they are, I'm confused, LOL, Chuck

Chuck,
 
we wre metricised in '72...
 
one inch = 25.4 mm approx.
 
We get imperial and metric stuff here..
 
Beads come in the following sizes here
 
2.5mm
3mm
4mm
4.5mm (there are sometimes some in between...s)

 
 
3/32 (2.5mm)
1/8 (3mm approx)

generally I use 3 and 4mm beads  (1/8, 5/32s)
 
Bead head nymphs I tie #14s with 3mm beads,
#12s with 3 or 4mm beads
#10s with 4mm beads..
 
Hope this is not too confusing,.
