microradian to radian
Convert microradian (μrad) to radian (rad). Use an editable angle converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 μrad = 0.000001 rad
Conversion formula
One microradian equals 0.000001 radian. Multiply your value in microradian by this factor to get radian. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 microradian:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 rad

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 radian is 1 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.
