Unit Definition (micron)
A unit of length. One Micron = 39 millionths of an inch (.000039"). Contaminant size is usually described in microns. Relatively speaking, a grain of salt is about 60 microns and the eye can see particles to about 40 microns. Many hydraulic filters are required to be efficient in capturing a substantial percentage of contaminant particles as small as 5 microns. A micron is also known as a micrometre, and exhibited as µm.

Unit Definition (bicron)
The Bicron is an obsolete metric unit of distance, which was defined as 10e-12 meter or 10e-6 micron. This distance is now called a picometer or picometre (pm). The name is a reference to the double prefix "micro-micron".
