How to convert microns to hands
1 micron is equal to 0.000009842519685 hands, and 1 hand is equal to 101,600 microns. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
hands = microns × 0.000009842519685
hands = microns ÷ 101,600Example: convert 15 µ to h: 15 × 0.000009842519685 = 0.0001476377953 h.

About the micron
The micron is the older name for the micrometer (one millionth of a meter). It's still common in filtration, semiconductor manufacturing and particle sizes.
Symbol: µ · 1 µ = 0.000001 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the hand
The hand is exactly 4 inches (10.16 cm). It's used to measure the height of horses at the withers.
Symbol: h · 1 h = 0.1016 m · Category: Imperial & US customary
