How to convert micrometers to inches

1 micrometer is equal to 3.94E-5 inches:

1 μm = (1/25400) in = 3.94E-5 in

When a distance L in micrometers is divided by 25400, it gives distance in inches.

Lin = Lμm / 25400


Example

To convert 500 micrometers into inches, it is divided by 25400:

(500 μm) / 25400 = 0.019685 in
