Convert micrometer to picometer
Enter a value below to convert micrometer [µm] to picometer [pM]. Reverse conversion: Convert picometer to micrometer.
1 µm = 1000000 pM. To convert micrometer to picometer, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pM = 1e-06 µm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Micrometer to Picometer: Quick Reference
- 1 µm = 1000000 pM
- 1 pM = 1e-06 µm
- 10 µm = 10000000 pM
- 100 µm = 100000000 pM
How to Convert Micrometer to Picometer
1 µm = 1000000 pM
Example: convert 15 µm to pM:
15 µm = 15 × 1000000 pM = 15000000 pM

Micrometer: Definition and Use
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
Picometer: Definition and Use
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
