Feet to Inches Calculator
Converting feet to inches is one of the most basic yet frequently needed calculations in electrical conduit work. Conduit bending formulas typically use inches, while conduit lengths and run distances are often specified in feet. A fast, reliable conversion prevents errors in bend mark placement and cut lengths.
This calculator multiplies your foot value by 12 to return the total inches. Enter any measurement in feet, including decimal values, and get the inch equivalent instantly. This is especially useful when plugging conduit run lengths into bending calculators that require inch inputs.
Feet to Inches Formula
Inches = Feet × 12
1 foot = exactly 12 inches
The relationship is straightforward: multiply by 12. For example, a 10-foot stick of conduit is 120 inches long. When working with fractional feet, the calculator handles decimals as well: 5.5 feet equals 66 inches.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert feet to inches?
Multiply the feet value by 12 to get inches. For example, 5 feet multiplied by 12 equals 60 inches. There are exactly 12 inches in one foot.
How many inches are in a foot?
There are exactly 12 inches in one foot. This is a fundamental imperial measurement relationship used constantly in the electrical trade for conduit sizing, box dimensions, and layout work.
Why do electricians need to convert feet to inches?
Electricians frequently convert between feet and inches for conduit bending calculations, which are typically done in inches, while conduit run lengths are often measured in feet. Accurate conversion ensures correct bend marks, cut lengths, and material estimates.
