Conversion Formula
The conversion formula from nanometers to inches is: in = nm * 3.937e-8. This works because 1 nm equals 3.937e-8 inches, based on the length of an inch (2.54 centimeters) and the nanometer (1e-9 meters). Multiplying the number of nanometers by this factor converts the measurement to inches. For example, for 7 nm, 7 * 3.937e-8 results in approximately 0.0002756 inches.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 nm to in:
- Multiply 10 by 3.937e-8
- 10 * 3.937e-8 = 3.937e-7
- Result: 0.00000039 in
- Convert 20 nm to in:
- 20 * 3.937e-8 = 7.874e-7
- Result: 0.00000079 in
- Convert 15 nm to in:
- 15 * 3.937e-8 = 5.9055e-7
- Result: 0.00000059 in
- Convert 5 nm to in:
- 5 * 3.937e-8 = 1.9685e-7
- Result: 0.00000020 in

Conversion Definitions
nm
Nanometer (nm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-billionth of a meter (1e-9 meters). It measures extremely small distances, used in fields such as nanotechnology, physics, and chemistry to describe atomic and molecular scales.
in
Inch (in) is a customary unit of length in the imperial measurement system, equal to 2.54 centimeters or 0.0254 meters. It is commonly used in the United States and the UK for measuring small lengths, such as screen sizes, fabric, and precision components.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor from nm to in so very small?
The conversion factor is small because nanometers are incredibly tiny units of length—one nanometer is only 3.937e-8 inches, meaning many nanometers are needed to make up even a fraction of an inch, which explains the tiny conversion factor.
Can I use this conversion for other units like micrometers or millimeters?
No, this specific conversion factor applies strictly to nanometers to inches. For micrometers or millimeters, different factors are used, such as 1 micrometer equals 3.937e-5 inches, and 1 millimeter equals 0.03937 inches.
How accurate is the conversion from nm to inches?
The conversion provided is precise based on the exact definition of both units—1 nanometer equals 1e-9 meters, and 1 inch equals 0.0254 meters—so the calculation is accurate for scientific and engineering purposes.
