Rod


A rod is a traditional unit of length used in land measurement and surveying. It is equal to 16.5 feet, 5.5 yards, or exactly 5.0292 meters.


Also known as a pole or perch, the rod dates back to medieval England and was commonly used for measuring land and agricultural plots. It is closely related to other units such as the chain (which is 4 rods) and the furlong (which is 40 rods).


Key conversions:



  • 1 rod = 16.5 feet



  • 1 rod = 5.5 yards



  • 1 rod = 5.0292 meters



  • 4 rods = 1 chain



  • 40 rods = 1 furlong



Though largely replaced by metric units today, the rod is still occasionally used in surveying and legal descriptions of land, especially in the United States and the UK.



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.
