Conversion Formula
The conversion from nanometers to inches is based on the fact that 1 nm equals 3.93701 x 10-8 inches. To convert, you multiply the nanometer value by this factor. For example, for 264 nm, multiplying 264 by 3.93701 x 10-8 results in approximately 10.39 inches. This works because it directly relates the smaller metric unit to the imperial inch, allowing for precise measurement conversions across different measurement systems.
Conversion Example
- Convert 150 nm to inches:
- Step 1: Write the conversion factor: 1 nm = 3.93701 x 10-8 in.
- Step 2: Multiply 150 by 3.93701 x 10-8: 150 x 3.93701 x 10-8 = 5.90552 x 10-6 in.
- Result: 150 nm equals approximately 0.0000059 in.
- Convert 300 nm to inches:
- Step 1: Use the same factor: 3.93701 x 10-8.
- Step 2: Multiply 300 by 3.93701 x 10-8: 300 x 3.93701 x 10-8 = 1.181103 x 10-5 in.
- Result: 300 nm equal about 0.0000118 inches.
- Convert 50 nm to inches:
- Step 1: Same factor applies.
- Step 2: 50 x 3.93701 x 10-8 = 1.9685 x 10-6 in.
- Result: Approximately 0.0000020 inches.

Conversion Definitions
nanometer (nm)
A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter (1 nm = 10-9 meters). It’s often used to measure atomic and molecular scales, especially in physics, chemistry, and nanotechnology.
inch (in)
An inch is an imperial measurement unit equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 2.54 centimeters. It commonly measures small lengths, screen sizes, and various crafts, and is used primarily in the United States and some other countries.
Conversion FAQs
How precise is the conversion of 264 nm to inches?
The conversion uses a fixed factor (3.93701 x 10-8) which provides high precision. Small variations in the factor may occur depending on rounding, but generally, the result is accurate enough for most scientific and engineering purposes.
Can I convert other nanometer values to inches with this tool?
Yes, by entering different numbers into the input box, the tool will calculate the equivalent inches based on the same conversion factor. This makes it flexible for any nanometer length conversion, not just 264 nm.
Why do nanometers convert to such small inches?
Because a nanometer is extremely tiny, about a billionth of a meter, and an inch is a larger imperial measurement, the conversion results in very small inches—these tiny fractions reflect the minute scale of nanometer measurements.
