Barleycorn (bc). The barleycorn is one third of an inch (about 8.47 mm), historically the length of a grain of barley.
Micrometer (µm). A micrometer (micron) is one millionth of a meter, used for cells, bacteria and fiber thickness.
There are 8,466.7 micrometers in one barleycorn.
Multiply the number of barleycorns by 8,466.7. For example, 10 barleycorns equal 84,667 micrometers.
One micrometer equals 0.00011811 barleycorns.
101,600 micrometers. Other common values: 5 barleycorns = 42,333.5 micrometers and 100 barleycorns = 846,670 micrometers.
