Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions 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 (douzieme [watchmaking]) The douzieme is a traditional unit of distance used in watchmaking. The word is French for "twelfth," and a douzième is equal to 1/12 Swiss ligne. This is about 188 micrometers (microns) or 7.4 mils.
