Convert Nanometers to Feet
Learn How to Convert Nanometers to Feet Using our Conversion Formula
Converting a nanometer length measurement to a foot measurement involves multiplying your length by the conversion ratio to find the result. A nanometer is equal to 3.2808E-9 feet, so to convert simply multiply by 3.2808E-9.
For example, 5nm = (5 × 3.2808E-9) = 1.6404E-8'.
Our inch fraction calculator can add nanometers and feet together and it also automatically converts the results to both imperial and metric values.
Nanometers and feet are both units used to measure length. Learn more about length and find more length measurement conversion calculators. A nanometer is a metric measurement and can be abbreviated as nm, for example 1nm. A foot is an imperial measurement and can be abbreviated as ft, for example 1ft. Learn more about the metric system, including the common unit prefixes and how to convert between metric units.
A nanometer is an extremely small unit of length measurement, equal to one billionth of a meter. The nanometer is used to measure things that are very small, such as the transistors and electrical pathways in computer processors and nanotechnology. Internationally it is spelled nanometre.
The foot has been used throughout history to measure length but the actual length varied. In the US it has always been equal to 12 inches and 1/3 of a yard. The standard 12" ruler can be used to measure a foot. In 1959 the world agreed that the yard would be equal to .9144 meters, hence a foot is equal to .3048 meters. In some cases you may need a linear footage measurement, which is simply the value of a length in feet, learn more.
We recommend using a ruler or tape measure for measuring length, which can be found at a local retailer or home center. Rulers are available in imperial, metric, or combination with both values, so make sure you get the correct type for your needs. If you need a ruler you can also download and print our free printable rulers which include both imperial and metric measurements.
