English translation:" used for inches in the USA

Explanation:
I have never seen " used to mean diameter, but it IS used for inches, so, in my case, I stand

6' 0" tall, or six feet, 0 inches.

Perhaps, if it follows a number, the customer is telling you that the diameter is specified by the number. But the symbol like that, never seen it.
