About Millimeter (mm)
A roughness unit for very coarse surfaces — sand-cast metal before cleanup, raw cut-off saw surfaces, pipe inner walls in fluid-mechanics pipe-flow tables (typical commercial steel pipe has ε = 0.045 mm). Pipe-wall roughness in mm is used directly in the Moody diagram / Colebrook equation to compute friction factor and flow resistance.
About Microinch (Ra) (μin)
An imperial surface-roughness unit equal to 0.0254 μm. Microinches (μin) are the traditional US unit on machining drawings — typical values: machined 63–250 μin; ground 8–63 μin; mirror 4 μin or less. Converting μin to μm (÷39.37) is a routine step when US parts are manufactured overseas.

Understanding Millimeters
The Millimeter (symbol: mm) is a unit of surface roughness. A roughness unit for very coarse surfaces — sand-cast metal before cleanup, raw cut-off saw surfaces, pipe inner walls in fluid-mechanics pipe-flow tables (typical commercial steel pipe has ε = 0.045 mm). Pipe-wall roughness in mm is used directly in the Moody diagram / Colebrook equation to compute friction factor and flow resistance.
It belongs to the metric measurement system.
Millimeters are commonly used in machining, quality control, and tribology.
Understanding Microinches (Ra)
The Microinch (Ra) (symbol: μin) is a unit of surface roughness. An imperial surface-roughness unit equal to 0.0254 μm. Microinches (μin) are the traditional US unit on machining drawings — typical values: machined 63–250 μin; ground 8–63 μin; mirror 4 μin or less. Converting μin to μm (÷39.37) is a routine step when US parts are manufactured overseas.
It belongs to the imperial measurement system.
Microinches (Ra) are commonly used in machining, quality control, and tribology.
Why Convert Millimeters to Microinches (Ra)?
Converting between Millimeters and Microinches (Ra) is a frequent requirement for engineers, scientists, and students working with surface roughness values. Different industries and regions favour different unit systems, so having a dependable conversion tool saves time and prevents errors in technical calculations. Whether you are verifying a specification sheet, cross-checking simulation results, or preparing a report for an international audience, accurate surface roughness conversion is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Millimeters to Microinches (Ra)?
A roughness unit for very coarse surfaces — sand-cast metal before cleanup, raw cut-off saw surfaces, pipe inner walls in fluid-mechanics pipe-flow tables (typical commercial steel pipe has ε = 0. To convert Millimeters to Microinches (Ra), multiply by 39370.1. For example, 25 mm equals 984252 μin.
How many Microinches (Ra) are in 1 Millimeter?
There are 39370.1 Microinches (Ra) in 1 Millimeter.
How many Millimeters are in 1 Microinch (Ra)?
There are 0.0000254 Millimeters in 1 Microinch (Ra).
What is the formula for Millimeter to Microinch (Ra) conversion?
The formula is: multiply by 39370.1. This means 1 mm = 39370.1 μin.
Is a Millimeter bigger than a Microinch (Ra)?
