Kiloyard


A kiloyard is a less commonly used unit of length that equals 1,000 yards. Since one yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, a kiloyard is equivalent to 914.4 meters or 0.9144 kilometers.


While not widely used in everyday measurements or scientific contexts, the kiloyard may occasionally appear in specialized fields like military applications, ballistics, or older engineering texts where large distances were measured in yards. It follows the metric-style prefix "kilo-" (meaning one thousand) combined with the imperial unit "yard."


Conversion:



  • 1 kiloyard = 1,000 yards



  • 1 kiloyard = 914.4 meters



  • 1 kiloyard โ‰ˆ 0.568 miles



Due to the dominance of the metric system and the more common use of miles for longer imperial distances, the kiloyard remains a rare and non-standard unit in most modern contexts.


Microinch


A microinch is a very small unit of length used primarily in precision engineering and manufacturing. It equals one-millionth of an inch (0.000001 inch), which is approximately 0.0254 micrometers (ยตm).


Microinches are used to measure extremely fine tolerances, surface finishes, and thicknesses in high-precision machining, electronics, and materials science.


Key facts:



  • 1 microinch = 0.000001 inch



  • 1 microinch โ‰ˆ 0.0254 micrometers (ยตm)



  • Used in precision engineering for very small measurements



  • Allows for accurate description of surface roughness and thickness



The microinch is essential in fields requiring ultra-fine measurements where standard units like the inch or millimeter are too large.
