Centiinch

A centiinch is a very small unit of length equal to one-hundredth of an inch (0.01 inch). It is not commonly used in everyday measurement but may appear in fields requiring precise fractional measurements based on the inch.

Key details:

• 
  

  1 centiinch = 0.01 inch

  
  
• 
  

  Equivalent to 0.254 millimeters

  
  
• 
  

  Used for fine measurements where inch subdivisions are preferred

  
  
• 
  

  Rare and mostly of specialized or historical interest

  
  

The centiinch allows for more detailed measurements within the inch system, similar to how centimeters subdivide a meter.

Pole

A pole is another traditional unit of length equivalent to a rod or perch. It measures exactly 16.5 feet, 5.5 yards, or about 5.0292 meters.

The pole has been used historically in land measurement and surveying, especially in England and the United States. Like the rod and perch, it helped standardize measurements of fields, plots, and boundaries before the adoption of metric units.

Key conversions:

• 
  

  1 pole = 16.5 feet

  
  
• 
  

  1 pole = 5.5 yards

  
  
• 
  

  1 pole ≈ 5.0292 meters

  
  
• 
  

  4 poles = 1 chain

  
  
• 
  

  40 poles = 1 furlong

  
  

Though largely replaced by modern units, the pole remains a notable term in historical surveying and land records.
