Precision and common mistakes

The prefix micro means 10⁻⁶. The inch-to-millimetre relationship is exact. The calculator keeps the full catalogued factor internally and rounds only the displayed value.

  • A micrometre is 1,000 times larger than a nanometre and 1,000 times smaller than a millimetre.
  • A decimal inch is not the same notation as feet and fractional inches.
  • Keep the original value and unit together when copying a result, especially when specifications use several measurement systems.
