How many millimeters are in a micron?

There are 0.001 millimeters in one micron. A micron is 0.10% of a millimeter. A millimeter is 99,900% longer than one micron.

Microns to millimeters conversion factor and formulas

Formula

The conversion factor between microns and millimeters is 1,000. This represents the ratio of microns per one millimeter. To calculate the value in millimeters, we can either divide by the conversion factor or multiply by its inverse.

Division

To convert from microns to millimeters, divide microns by 1,000.
The formula is expressed as:
µ ÷ 1,000 = mm

Multiplication

Alternatively we can multiply by the inverse conversion factor to get the same result.
The inverse of 1,000 is 1/1,000 or 0.001. To convert from microns to millimeters, multiply microns by 0.001.
The formula is expressed as:
µ × 0.001 = mm

About this conversion

A conversion from microns to millimeters are units within in the metric (SI) or SI compatible systems.

About Microns

SI Unit

The micrometer is a very small unit of length within the SI (metric) system. It is officially defined as one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a meter or one thousandth (1/1,000) of a millimeter. The micrometer is also commonly referred to as a micron. It is commonly used when measuring microscopic sizes like bacteria or biological cells. Internationally it is spelled 'micrometre' whereas the U.S. spells it 'micrometer'. The symbol for a micrometer is µ.

About Millimeters

SI Unit

Within the SI (metric) system of measurement, the millimeter is officially defined as one thousandth (1/1,000) of a meter. It is commonly used when measuring very short lengths. Internationally it is spelled 'millimetre' whereas the U.S. spells it 'millimeter'. The symbol for millimeters is mm.
