American Inches

It depends on what you are measuring, beleive it or not. If you are asking because you have 2 spanners, or wrenches, that show the same size markings, but are very obviously different, then you have one "Imperial" measurement and one "Across the Flats" measurement.
Imperial measurements got smaller due to shaving off vital fractions of metal on nuts and bolt heads (the bit you use a spanner on) as part of the war effort during World War 2. Across the flats measurement is the American Standard. As they didn't suffer the same shortages as we did during the war years, they were able to retain the same standard measurements.
So in answer to your question, an American inch is the same as a Brittish inch, except when it is a fraction of an inch, and someone else has already given you the conversion rate.

American and english inch the same length. 24 point something millimeters to the inch. Two and a half centimeters is an easy conversion.

Don't really know. I suppose one could have an American and British male stand side by side, reach down, and pull........ well, I'm sure you've the general idea by now. Doubtful that they're significantly different, what?
