Micrometers per year to millimeters per year

Type a value in µm/yr to get it in mm/yr instantly.

0.01mm/yr

Nothing on our list is smaller: outstanding resistance is 2× faster. A 10 mm wall would last about 1,000 years at that rate.

What it means

How fast is it going?

These are uniform corrosion rates. Pitting attacks one spot far faster than the average, so a good overall rate can still perforate a pipe.

The math

How to convert µm/yr to mm/yr

To convert micrometers per year to millimeters per year, multiply by 0.001.

Example: 10 µm/yr × 0.001 = 0.01 mm/yr.

In the other direction, 1 mm/yr = 1,000 µm/yr.
