Convert inch to microinch
Please provide values below to convert inch [in] to microinch [µin], or Convert microinch to inch.
1 in = 1000000 µin. To convert inch to microinch, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µin = 1e-06 in). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 in = 1000000 µin
- 1 µin = 1e-06 in
- 10 in = 10000000 µin
- 100 in = 100000000 µin
How to Convert Inch to Microinch

Current Use
The inch is mostly used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It is also sometimes used in Japan (as well as other countries) in relation to electronic parts, like the size of display screens.
Microinch
A microinch is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of an inch.
History/Origin
The microinch is a unit used for extremely small measurements in precision engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The microinch is used in fields like mechanical engineering and electronics to measure surface roughness and tolerances.
