There is 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/256, and so forth, but I stopped at 1/16" because tolerances below that are too small for contractors and most manufacturers to deal with. A material may be smaller in thickness (sheet steel for example), but those use gauge measurements or millimeters (even in the U.S.). My point is that, for example, 2/5" is not an EQUIVALENT measurements in Imperial units for a 10mm piece of glass—1/4" is.John Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-8809628763898936802013-02-15T14:15:51.538-05:002013-02-15T14:15:51.538-05:00"These are not real measurements."
