Fence & Wire Mesh Unit Converter
Convert common metric and imperial project values while avoiding ambiguous wire-gauge assumptions.
Converter
Keep engineering values in the buyer's working units.
Switch between common metric and imperial values without changing the underlying specification.
=
Pure unit conversion only. Wire gauge systems such as AWG, SWG and BWG are intentionally excluded because the same gauge number does not represent one universal diameter.
Scope
Conversions are mathematical, not manufacturing tolerances.
Round only at presentation; retain the original value in drawings and purchase documents.
Mass
gram, kilogram, pound and metric tonne.
Mass per area
kg/m² and lb/ft².
Pressure
Pa, kPa, MPa, bar and psi.
How to use the result
A direct answer, plus the limits that travel with it.
Use the result as a planning input, preserve the original assumptions, and ask the supplier to confirm product-specific values.
The converter applies fixed mathematical factors for length, mass, mass per area and pressure. It changes units, not the tolerance or precision of the source measurement.
When to use it
Translating buyer drawings, datasheets and RFQs between metric and imperial working units.
Inputs that matter
The original numeric value, its unit, the target unit and enough retained precision to avoid cumulative rounding.
Worked example
25.4 mm equals exactly 1 inch; keep 25.4 mm in the source record rather than replacing it with a prematurely rounded display value.
Common mistake
Using AWG, SWG or BWG as interchangeable diameter units, or adding decimal places that imply measurement accuracy not present in the source.
