Furlong (US Survey)

The furlong (US survey) is a traditional unit of distance used in U.S. land surveying, defined as 1/8 of a U.S. survey mile, or exactly 660 U.S. survey feet. Since one U.S. survey foot equals approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey furlong is about 201.1684 meters long.

While the difference between the US survey furlong and the international (standard) furlong is extremely small (just a few micrometers), it was significant in precise land measurements, particularly in legal and cadastral surveying contexts.

Key Conversions:

1 US survey furlong = 660 US survey feet
1 US survey furlong ≈ 220 yards
1 US survey furlong ≈ 201.1684 meters
8 US survey furlongs = 1 US survey mile

As of 2023, the U.S. has officially deprecated the use of the survey foot (and by extension the survey furlong) in favor of the international foot, but it may still appear in historical and legal documents.

Twip

A twip (short for twentieth of a point) is a very small unit of length used in digital typography and computer graphics. It equals 1/20 of a typographic point, or 1/1440 of an inch.

Key facts:

1 twip = 1/20 point = 1/1440 inch ≈ 0.01764 millimeters
Used in software and digital layout to specify very fine measurements for text, spacing, and graphics
Helps achieve high precision in formatting and display, especially in word processors and graphic design programs

Twips allow for detailed control over layout and formatting beyond what whole points can provide, ensuring smooth and precise rendering on screens and printers.
