Thou (Mil) to Micrometer Converter

1 Thou (Mil) = 0 Micrometer

Thou (Mil) (mil) to Micrometer (µm) Conversion

The Thou (also called Mil) is essential in precision engineering and manufacturing. For context, a standard sheet of paper is about 100 thou thick, while human hair measures approximately 20-30 thou in diameter. This unit is critical in machining tolerances, PCB design, and automotive engineering where exact measurements are crucial. Micrometers (µm) measure cells (human cell = ~10–30 µm), bacteria (1–5 µm), and microelectronics. Pollen grains are ~15–100 µm wide.

Conversion Formula

To convert between Thou (Mil) (mil) and Micrometer (µm), use the following formulas:

1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 25.400000000000002 Micrometer (µm)

1 Micrometer (µm) = 0.03937007874015748 Thou (Mil) (mil)
