To convert centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10 , centimeters x 10 = millimeters.
1000000 nm
Micrometer A micrometer (also called a micron) is 1000 times smaller than a millimeter. 1 millimeter (mm) = 1000 micrometers (μm). Nanometer A nanometer is 1000 times smaller than a micrometer. 1 micrometer (μm) = 1000 nanometers.
How to Convert Millimeters to Micrometers. To convert a millimeter measurement to a micrometer measurement, multiply the length by the conversion ratio. The length in micrometers is equal to the millimeters multiplied by 1,000.

A nanometer (nm) is 1,000 times smaller than a micrometer. It is equal to 1/1,000,000,000th or one-billionth of a meter. When things are this small, you can’t see them with your eyes, or a light microscope. Atoms are smaller than a nanometer.
Just how small is “nano?” In the International System of Units, the prefix “nano” means one-billionth, or 10-9; therefore one nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. There are 25,400,000 nanometers in one inch. A human hair is approximately 80,000- 100,000 nanometers wide.
The standard measure of length in science is in meters (m). One nanometer (1 nm) is equal to 10-9 m or 0.000000001 m.
Scientists often measure lengths even smaller than a nanometer—the width of an atom, for instance, or the wavelength of a light ray. For this purpose, they use the angstrom (Å or A), equal to 0.1 nanometers.
TSMC’s 10nm node is 2x Denser than their 12nm/16nm. It is also 15% faster and 35% power efficient. The density of TSMC’s 10nm Process is 60.3 MTr/mm².
If you were using a high power microscope or a SEM microscope and wanted to measure what you were looking at, the next unit of measure that is smaller is a nanometer. One thousand nanometers equals one micron.
The average size of the openings between pieces of the filter media are represented in microns. For example, a 20-micron filter has larger openings than a 5-micron filter. Consequently, the 20-micron filter element will let larger particles pass through the filter than the 5-micron media would.
50 micron is smaller than 100 micron.
Contrary to popular belief, a clean 2 micron element presents no greater resistance or vacuum than a clean 10 micron element (this is based on my personal experience and is confirmed by the folks at Parker/Racor).
A filter with a nominal rating of 10 microns would have shown, through testing, to catch 50-90% of particles 10 microns and above in size. So that’s a little better. If the filter has an absolute rating of 10 microns, it has to catch at least 98.7% of particles 10 microns and above.
Fuel system final filter (after the pump): 1 to 40 micron. High-performance fuel injector manufacturers recommend a 10 micron or finer filter.
A 5 micron rating works well in many industries, including the food and beverage industry. This rating filters a little less than the 5 micron rating. Filters with a 10 micron rating can remove some unseen materials from liquid but not bacteria or viruses.
Nominal Micron Rating expresses the ability of the filter to capture particles of a specified size in microns at an efficiency of 50%. A nominal rating of 50% at 10 microns simply means that a filter captures 50% of contaminants 10 microns in size.
Bacteria usually range from between 0.4 and 2 microns in size. 0.4 micron bacteria will pass through a 1 micron filter size, so to ensure you are removing all the bacteria possible, you should opt for 0.4 microns or smaller in terms of filter size.
The smaller the micron rating, the finer the particulate removed. Which size micron filter you need depends on the size of the smallest particle that needs filtering from your water. A 5-micron filter, for example, removes particles as small as 5 microns. Anything smaller passes through the pores.
