Micrometers Ra to microinches Ra

Type a value in µm Ra to get it in µin Ra instantly.

62.99µin Ra

That's about the same as a machined surface. A human hair is about 43.75 times that height.

What it means

How rough is that?

Ra is an average of the deviations, so two surfaces with the same Ra can feel and wear quite differently. Ra and Rq relate exactly only for a sine profile.

The math

How to convert µm Ra to µin Ra

To convert micrometers Ra to microinches Ra, multiply by 39.3701.

Example: 1.6 µm Ra × 39.3701 = 62.9921 µin Ra.

In the other direction, 1 µin Ra = 0.0254 µm Ra.
