Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
μV = nV × 0.001
Multiply any value in nanovolts by 0.001 to obtain the value in microvolts.
Worked example
Convert 1000 nV to μV.
- 01Start with 1000 nV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 μV.
Result1000 nV = 1 μV

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from nV to μV?
1 nV equals 0.001 μV. To convert, multiply the value in nanovolts by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 nV to μV?
1 nV = 0.001 μV. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert μV back to nV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 μV = 1000 nV.
When would I need to convert nanovolt to microvolt?
Voltage conversions between nV and μV are routine in instrumentation, power-system analysis and electronics design. Volts and kilovolts dominate power-system documents (LV/MV/HV switchgear, motor ratings), while millivolts and microvolts appear on transducer datasheets, thermocouple signal chains and low-level analog measurements.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
