Micrometers (um) - Length / Distance Conversions

A micrometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for micrometer is μm and the International spelling for this unit is micrometre.

The base unit for a micrometer is meter and the prefix is micro. The prefix micro is derived from the Greek mikrós meaning small and is symbolized as μ. Micro denotes a factor of one millionth (10-6) which means that there are 1,000,000 micrometers in a meter.
