How to convert volts per mil to kilovolts per millimeter

To convert volts per mil to kilovolts per millimeter, divide the number of volts per mil by 25.4.

Formula

kV/mm = V/mil ÷ 25.4

Examples

  • 5 V/mil = 5 ÷ 25.4 ≈ 0.1968503937 kV/mm
  • 25 V/mil = 25 ÷ 25.4 ≈ 0.9842519685 kV/mm
  • 100 V/mil = 100 ÷ 25.4 ≈ 3.937007874 kV/mm
