The root gap for a CWB 2G weld is 8 mm. Which inch value is equivalent?

Converting metric to inches uses 1 inch equals 25.4 mm. So 8 mm is 8 / 25.4 ≈ 0.315 inches. Among the given options, 5/16 inch is 0.3125 inches, which is the closest to 0.315. The other fractions are 1/4 (0.25), 3/16 (0.1875), and 7/32 (0.21875), which are farther away. Therefore, 8 mm is best represented as about 5/16 inch in welding practice.
