Conversion Formulas
Micrometer to Millimeter
mm = μm ÷ 1000
Example: 5000 μm = 5000 ÷ 1000 = 5 mm
Micrometer to Nanometer
nm = μm × 1000
Example: 2 μm = 2 × 1000 = 2000 nm
Micrometer to Inch
in = μm ÷ 25400
Example: 25400 μm = 25400 ÷ 25400 = 1 in
Micrometer to Centimeter
cm = μm ÷ 10000
Example: 50000 μm = 50000 ÷ 10000 = 5 cm
