Convert mil to microinch
Please provide values below to convert mil [mil, thou] to microinch [µin], or Convert microinch to mil.
1 mil, thou = 1000 µin. To convert mil to microinch, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µin = 0.001 mil, thou). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mil, thou = 1000 µin
- 1 µin = 0.001 mil, thou
- 10 mil, thou = 10000 µin
- 100 mil, thou = 100000 µin
How to Convert Mil to Microinch
1 mil, thou = 1000 µin
Example: convert 15 mil, thou to µin:
15 mil, thou = 15 × 1000 µin = 15000 µin

Mil
A mil, also known as a thou, is a unit of length equal to one-thousandth of an inch.
History/Origin
The mil was introduced in the 19th century as a convenient unit for fine measurements in engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The mil is still used in some manufacturing and engineering contexts, particularly in the United States, for specifying the thickness of materials like paper and wire.
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.
