How to Convert Micrograms to Slugs
Converting micrograms (µg) to slugs is a common conversion in physics and engineering. One microgram is equal to approximately 6.85218e-11 slugs.
Formula
Slugs = Micrograms × 6.85218e-11
or
slug = µg × 6.85218e-11
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in micrograms
- Multiply that number by 6.85218e-11
- The result is the equivalent amount in slugs
Examples
- 1 µg = 6.85218e-11 slug
- 1000 µg = 6.85218e-8 slug
- 14593900000 µg = 1 slug
When to Convert Micrograms to Slugs

Frequently Asked Questions
How many slugs are in a microgram?
There are approximately 6.85218e-11 slugs in one microgram.
Why is the conversion factor 6.85218e-11?
One slug is defined as the mass that accelerates by 1 ft/s² when a force of one pound-force is exerted on it. This results in a slug being approximately 14.5939 kilograms, or 14,593,900,000 micrograms. Therefore, one microgram is 1 / 14,593,900,000 slugs.
