Strain Conversion Formulas
Microstrain to Percent
% = με ÷ 10,000
Example: 2000 με = 2000 ÷ 10,000 = 0.2%
Percent to Microstrain
με = % × 10,000
Example: 0.15% = 0.15 × 10,000 = 1500 με
mm/m to Microstrain
με = (mm/m) × 1,000
Example: 2.5 mm/m = 2.5 × 1,000 = 2500 με
Engineering Strain
εₑ = ΔL / L₀
Where ΔL = change in length, L₀ = original length
