Best Answer

There is no direct conversion from microns to grains of weight. A micron is a measure of distance equal to one millionth of a meter. In air filtering this is the dimension of the diameter of the particle. Grains are measures of weight. You can't determine the weight of say a 5 micron particle unless you know what the particle is made of.

It is even difficult to express any average since the material captured in an air filter in Arizona will be much different than in Los Angeles.

The volume of a spherical particle is

So the volume of a particle with diameter 5 microns = 6.54 cu-microns or

6.54 x 10-17 cubic-meters

If the material was silica sand with a density of 2.17 Mg/cu-m you would have

1.42 x 10-10 grams. 1.0 gram = 15.43235 grains

So a 5 micron particle of filered sand = 2.19 x 10-9 approx 2.2 billionths of a grain

You can't ! Microns are measurements of length - gsm is a unit of weight !


24 microns is equal to how many grams?

A micron is a unit of length. A gram is a unit of weight. These figures do not convert. Its like asking how many miles in a pound.


How do you convert Ounces to microns?

Grams are units of weight like ounces or pounds. Microns are units of distane like inches or feet. There is no direct conversion from one to the other. It would be like asking how to you covert pounds to feet.


How many cm in grans?

Centimetres measure length, grams and grains measure weight (mass). You can't convert the one to the other.


25 micron=gsm,35 micron=gsm?

Micron (µm) and GSM (Grams per Square Meter) are units of measurement for thickness and weight, respectively. To convert microns to GSM, you would need information about the material's density. The formula for this conversion is: GSM = (Microns * Material Density) / 10.89 Without knowing the material's density, it's not possible to directly convert microns to GSM. So, you'd need to obtain the density of the material in question to make this conversion. The formula assumes that the density is in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). Once you have the density of the material, you can plug it into the formula to convert any micron thickness to GSM.

How do you convert 2400 mg to grains?

A grain is an old-fashioned, medieval unit of weight equal to the weight of a grain of wheat or barley, it isn't used in the modern world. One grain was roughly equivalent to 64.8 milligrams, so 7.5 would be 7.4 time 64.8, which is 486 milligrams, or 0.486 grams.
