microradian to milliradian
Convert microradian (μrad) to milliradian (mrad). Use an editable angle converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 μrad = 0.001 mrad
Conversion formula
One microradian equals 0.001 milliradian. Multiply your value in microradian by this factor to get milliradian. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 microradian:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 mrad

About these measurements
An angle describes rotation between directions.
The base reference used here is the radian. One microradian is 0.000001 base units; one milliradian is 0.001 base units.
Important distinctions
A full turn is 360 degrees or 2π radians. Signed angles are permitted.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
