Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a microinch?
-
A microinch is one millionth of an inch and is used to express extremely small linear distances and surface thicknesses in engineering.
-
Why convert microinch to inch?
-
Converting microinch to inch allows detailed small-scale measurements to be expressed in the standard linear dimensions common in mechanical and manufacturing work.
-
Can I use this tool for coating thickness measurements?
-
Yes, it is ideal for converting coating thickness measurements such as gold or nickel plating from microinch to inch.
Key Terminology
-
Microinch
-
A unit equal to one millionth of an inch, used for measuring very small distances and surface finishes.
-
Inch [in]
-
A unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems equal to exactly 25.4 millimetres.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to translate a measurement from one unit to another; here, 1 Microinch equals 0.000001 Inch.
