Metric conversion

 

When calculating measurements for geodesic domes your results are given with decimal points (divisible by 10), so it’s pretty easy to measure your struts with a metric ruler or a measuring tape

But if you are cutting struts in inches and your length ends with .687, how much is that? To find out, look up the decimal value and you’ll see the imperial value beside it. By the way .687 inches is 11/16th of an inch.

For other conversion between metric and imperial measurements, please see the bottom of this page.
