Convert micro inches to micro ms

We have a X-ray machine and this sends the data 125 micro inches and my spec's is 250 micro ms. How can I convert micro inches to micro ms.

Thanks.

I am not positive what you mean by "micro ms" but you probably mean micrometers (also called microns). In both measuring systems "micro" means one millionth. There are 39.7 inches in a meter, so there are 39.7 micro inches in a micrometer. Dividing 125 micro inches by 39.7 gives 3.17 micrometers.

I would like to know how to convert microns to micro inches?
Is that 1 microns equal to 40u"(micro inches)
If I requir 4u"(micro inches), then what is value of microns?

I had said "39.7", but, yes, "40" is close enough. 1 micron equals 40 microinches. 40 microinches equals 1 micron. So 4 microinches equals 0.1 micron.
