Thou (Mil) to Nanometer Converter

1 Thou (Mil) = 0 Nanometer

Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm) 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. Nanometers (nm) are critical in nanotechnology, biology (DNA helix = 2 nm wide), and computing (transistors are 3–5 nm). A human hair is ~80,000 nm thick.

Conversion Formula

To convert between Thou (Mil) (mil) and Nanometer (nm), use the following formulas:

1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 25400 Nanometer (nm)

1 Nanometer (nm) = 0.00003937007874015748 Thou (Mil) (mil)

Example Conversions

1. Convert 1 Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm)

1 mil = 1 * 25400 nm = 25400 nm

2. Convert 5 Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm)

5 mil = 5 * 25400 nm = 127000 nm

3. Convert 10 Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm)

10 mil = 10 * 25400 nm = 254000 nm

4. Convert 50 Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm)

50 mil = 50 * 25400 nm = 1270000 nm

5. Convert 100 Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm)

100 mil = 100 * 25400 nm = 2540000 nm

6. Convert 500 Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm)

500 mil = 500 * 25400 nm = 12700000 nm

7. Convert 1000 Thou (Mil) (mil) to Nanometer (nm)

1000 mil = 1000 * 25400 nm = 25400000 nm
