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 (µm).

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 ≈ 0.0254 micrometers (µm)
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.

Hand

A hand is a traditional unit of length primarily used to measure the height of horses. It is equal to 4 inches or 10.16 centimeters.

The origin of the hand as a measurement comes from using the width of a human hand, and it has been standardized at 4 inches for consistency in horse measurement. Horse height is expressed in "hands," measured from the ground to the highest point of the withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades).

Key points:

1 hand = 4 inches
1 hand = 10.16 centimeters
Used mainly for measuring horse height
Horse height is often given in hands and inches, e.g., 15.2 hands means 15 hands plus 2 inches

The hand remains the standard unit for horse height in many English-speaking countries.
