Convert centiinch to micron
Please provide values below to convert centiinch [cin] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to centiinch.
1 cin = 254 µ. To convert centiinch to micron, multiply the value by 254; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 0.00393700787402 cin). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cin = 254 µ
- 1 µ = 0.00393700787402 cin
- 10 cin = 2540 µ
- 100 cin = 25400 µ
How to Convert Centiinch to Micron
1 cin = 254 µ
Example: convert 15 cin to µ:
15 cin = 15 × 254 µ = 3810 µ

Centiinch
A centiinch is a unit of length equal to one-hundredth of an inch.
History/Origin
The centiinch is not a standard unit of measurement but is a logical subdivision of the inch.
Current Use
The centiinch is rarely used.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
