Equivalent particle size to square meters per gram
Type a value in µm to get it in m²/g instantly.
0.0024m²/g
Nothing on our list is smaller: beach sand is 4.2× higher. A five-gram spoonful would cover about 4.598×10⁻⁵ tennis courts.
Convert the other way: m²/g to µm
What it means
How much surface is that?
Particle sizes assume smooth spheres at 2.5 g/cm³. Real porous materials have far more area than their outside size suggests, which is the point of measuring.
The math
How to convert µm to m²/g
For smooth spheres, area and size are reciprocals: m²/g = 6 ÷ (density × diameter), taking the density as 2.5 g/cm³. Porous materials have far more area than that.
Example: 1,000 µm = 0.0024 m²/g.
