Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column. Convert this width from picas to Microinches.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to microinches is:
Length(Microinches) = Length(Pica) / 0.000006
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Microinches) = 12 / 0.000006
Length(Microinches) = 2000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 2000000 µin.
The length is 2000000 µin, in microinches.
2
Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long. Convert this length from picas to Microinches.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to microinches is:
Length(Microinches) = Length(Pica) / 0.000006
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Microinches) = 6 / 0.000006
Length(Microinches) = 1000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 1000000 µin.
The length is 1000000 µin, in microinches.

Pica
A pica is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One pica is equivalent to 1/6 of an inch or approximately 4.233 millimeters.
The pica is defined as 12 points, with one point being 1/72 of an inch. It is used to measure the size of type, line length, and spacing in printed materials.
Picas are commonly used in the printing and graphic design industries to ensure consistency in text layout and design. The unit provides a standard measurement for various typographic and layout tasks.
Microinches
A microinch is a unit of length used to measure extremely small distances. One microinch is equivalent to 1/1,000,000 of an inch or approximately 0.0000254 millimeters.
The microinch is defined as one-millionth of an inch, providing a high level of precision for measuring minute thicknesses and tolerances in various applications.
Microinches are used in fields such as precision engineering, manufacturing, and material science to measure very fine dimensions and surface finishes. The unit is crucial for tasks that require extremely accurate measurements and tolerances.
