Converting microinches AA Ra to micrometers Ra
Can some one tell me how to convert Ra microinches AA to micrometers. I have already figured out it is not as simple as using
25.4 mm = 1 inch because it is an arithmetic average. An equation of sorts would help me out heaps.

Converting an average is no different than converting a measurement. Just divide microinches by 40 and you obtain the micrometers.

Dear Mr Hogan,
Perhaps this can help you: Ra in micrometers = 1/40 Ra in microinches.

CONSIDER 39.37 (40.00) INCH = 1 METER
40 MICRO INCHES = 1 MICROMETER.
IF Ra VALUE IS 100 MICRO INCHES 100/40 =2.5 IN MICROMETER.
