Inches per year to millimeters per year

Type a value in ipy to get it in mm/yr instantly.

254mm/yr

That's 51× as fast as poor resistance — nothing on our list beats it. A 10 mm wall would last about 0.03937 years at that rate.

What it means

How fast is it going?

These are uniform corrosion rates. Pitting attacks one spot far faster than the average, so a good overall rate can still perforate a pipe.

The math

How to convert ipy to mm/yr

To convert inches per year to millimeters per year, multiply by 25.4.

Example: 10 ipy × 25.4 = 254 mm/yr.

In the other direction, 1 mm/yr = 0.0393701 ipy.
