Scientists in the United States use meters, centimeters and other metric units. When they go to local stores, however, they find most item descriptions and specifications in English units such as yards and inches. When shopping globally online, or traveling outside the United States, consumers often find item descriptions that use metric terms. Hence, it's helpful to be able to convert measurements. A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a small unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) metric system.
Round off. Round the converted values to the same number of significant digits as the original values. The original micrometer value had five significant digits. The rounded reverse conversion result is 25,683 micrometers, matching the original value, thus confirming the micrometers-to-inches conversion. Round off that conversion result to five digits as well, for a verified final micrometers-to-inches conversion value of 1.0111 inches.
Verify your result by performing a reverse conversion. Multiply your result in inches by the inches-to-micrometers conversion factor of 25,400. That result is 25,683.000821856 micrometers.
Multiply the number of micrometers by the micrometers-to-inches conversion factor of 0.00003937008. For example, to convert 25,683 micrometers to inches, multiply by 0.00003937008. The result is 1.01114176464 inches.
