Isn't it exactly 1/3 of an inch?

No mate it's the other side of 2/3 of an inch. In fractions it's well, a 53/64th of an inch or 21mm in euro money.

I don't really get RG, seems a stupid system. Why not just use mm like length? or 0."?

that's sort of even worse as it follows a duodecimal system. hard to put them as 0.xxx as they're under decimals.
that's the whole reason why we started using 1/3 or 3/16 inches as fractions can have any denominator where as decimals have to be... well: deci! i guess that's why the ring gauge system came in place in the imperial system after all.....

Ring gauge was a standard for pipes/wire/tubing for a long time so I always figured it just evolved from that and like a lot of things it stuck.

Lol, I work with Pipes and Tubing all day every day and I have never used RG. Some of the old timers still use inches which gets me thinking.

Well I never even thought to look up RG until now, I never realised it was just 64ths of an inch. Makes more sense knowing that.

Like that at our place, If we didn't do subby work for the yanks at work I wouldn't have much need for imperial measurements, it's a dying scale haha

[sheppsea]

not even sure one can give ring gauges to them. do different sources quote differently when it comes to salomons and other perfectos of the sort?

Don't they measure ring gauges at the widest point of the cigar? That's how I thought they work anyway

That's what she said!

But no seriously. A 64 ring gauge is 1 inch. So 1/3 inch ring would be something along the lines of 21.33333333 ring gauge. Being that 64 is not divisible by 3 you don't come out even.
