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...
