Convert micron to nautical mile (UK)
Please provide values below to convert micron [µ] to nautical mile (UK) [NM (UK)], or Convert nautical mile (UK) to micron.
1 µ = 5.3961e-10 NM (UK). To convert micron to nautical mile (UK), multiply the value by 5.3961e-10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 NM (UK) = 1853184000 µ). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µ = 5.3961e-10 NM (UK)
- 1 NM (UK) = 1853184000 µ
- 10 µ = 5.39611824838e-09 NM (UK)
- 100 µ = 5.39611824838e-08 NM (UK)
How to Convert Micron to Nautical Mile (Uk)

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.
Nautical Mile (Uk)
The UK nautical mile, or Admiralty mile, was defined as 6,080 feet.
History/Origin
The British Admiralty defined its nautical mile as a thousandth of an imperial nautical mile. The UK adopted the international nautical mile of 1,852 meters in 1970.
Current Use
The UK nautical mile is an obsolete unit.
