Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (microinch) The microinch is a common imperial unit of distance equal to one millionth of an inch, or 25.4 nanometers (nm). The microinch is used for precise machining tolerances and also to describe the roughness of surfaces. Unit Definition (micrometer) The metre, symbol: m, is the basic unit of distance (or of "length", in the parlance of the physical sciences) in the International System of Units. The internationally-accepted spelling of the unit in English is "metre", although the American English spelling meter is a common variant. However, both American and non-American forms of English agree that the spelling "meter" should be used as a suffix in the names of measuring devices such as chronometers and micrometers.
