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

About these measurements
An angle describes rotation between directions.
The base reference used here is the radian. One nanoradian is 1e-9 base units; one microradian is 0.000001 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
How do I convert nrad to μrad?
Multiply the quantity in nrad by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the microradian to nanoradian converter.
