Microns and microinches conversion factors
Our tube mill manufactures products specified down as far as micron level, in some cases. That’s just a millionth of a metre. The following conversion tables outline the units used to measure tubes in our range including metric and imperial units.
Conversion factors
| 1 mm | = 0.001 m |
| 1 micron (µm) | = 0.000001 m |
| 1 mm | = 1000 micron (µm) |
| 0.1 mm | = 100 micron (µm) |
| 1 inch | = 25.4 mm |
| 1 micro inch (µ”) | = 0.000001 x 25.4 x 1000 µm (micron) |
| = 0.0254 µm (micron) | |
| 32 µ” | = 0.81 µm |
| 1 milli | = 1 thousandth |
| 1 micro | = 1 millionth |
| 1 mm | = 1 thousandth of a metre |
