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

We get imperial and metric stuff here..
Beads come in the following sizes here

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,.
