Length conversion chart

If you're trying to find out how to quickly switch between different units within the same system, look at these two easy length chart conversions:

1. Measurment system refers to the measuring system for metric

For instance:

• 6 km = 6 * 1000 = 6000 m
• 180 cm = 180 / 100 = 1.8 m

1. The Imperial US measurement system. US measure system

For instance:

• 5 yd = 5 * 3 = 15 ft
• 144 in = 144 / 12 = 12 ft

We've also created an index of the most frequently asked length conversions. The most frequently requested ones are:

Inch definition

"Inch" (abbreviated as "or") is a measurement of length "inch" (abbreviate which means "or ") is a length measurement used to describe"the" Imperial as well as the US in the system of metric. The word is used in a variety of ways that include the dimension that the thumb is. In several different languages e.g. Norwegian, Afrikaans, Italian or French the term "inch" originates from the word "thumb" at times, it's the same idea. In the fourteenth century,"inches" were defined during the reign of King Edward I. England by the definition of three barley grain that were dry and round, and set between the ends of the length. What is considered an inch evolved through the years, but during the 1950's, an international standard was adopted. Since 1950, an inch has been exactly 2.54 centimeters.

1 in = 2.54 cm

One inch also equates to one-third of a yard. 1/12 of a foot or 1/6360 of one mile.

Everyday, the use of inches is prevalent across nations like in the US, UK, Canada and other nations that were once part the British Empire. Along with width and length, these are also measured using various dimensions. They are also measured by units which are created from inches (e.g. the dimensions of a shoe).

What's measured in inches? Not just within the US but all over the world?

• Screen dimensions of monitors, smartphones televisions, monitors and other TVs (specifically measurements of dimensions of the diagonals of a rectangular screen)
• Resolution on the display PPI (pixels per inch)
• measurement of the tire dimension of tires e.g. wheel of a bicycle or automobile
• diverse instruments and pipe of various dimensions
• Certain sports equipments are measured in inches. e.g. is used to fire archery.
• in the field that is science-related, e.g. Acoustics in the field of science, e.g. Acoustics microphones, and size of speakers

The expression "International inch" refers to: International inch is the equivalent of:

• 10,000 10ths of a tenth
• 1,000 thou/mil
• 100 points , tears or even tears
• 72 PostScript points
• 6 computer picas
• 3 barleycorns
• 2.54 centimeters exactly
• 0.999998 US Survey inches
• 1/3 of or 0.333 palms
• 1/4 or 0.25 hands
• 1/12 (1/12) or 0.08333 feet
• 1/36 or 0.02777 yards

Feet definition

Foot (abbreviate in the form of "ft" or ") is an instrument for measuring length that is used to measure length in the Imperial or US standard measurement system. It's a measurement that is based on the human body, just as the name implies. In the early 1950s, it was the first time that this measurement became standard. since then, it's equivalent to 0.3048 meters precisely:

1 ft = 0.3048 m = 304.8 mm

The use of feet been in use since the beginning of time in various civilizations The length of feet differed in these diverse civilizations. The foot was utilized, e.g. in:

• Ancient Rome: 1 foot = 11.6 inches (295.7 mm). This was a normal foot, however in certain areas it might be greater than 13.2 inches (334 millimeters)
• Greece: 1 foot = 10.6-13.8 inches (270 - 350 millimeters)
• Indus cities in the Bronze Age: 1 foot equals 13.2 inches (333.5 millimeters)
• Egypt could be defined as the equivalent of twelve inches (304.8 millimeters)

The official measure of the size of the population that is not recognised by official standards. Greenwich

The measurement of feet is widely used throughout England and the measurements of feet is commonly used in England England The measurement for feet also changed through time, starting with Roman standards. Later, Belgic Celts foot of 13.2 inches or Welsh foot was introduced, but was later removed. The measurement of feet varied from region to region and cities to city, and then the kings modified the measurements according to their preferences - e.g., Henry I was believed to have mandated the creation of a brand new standard, which was inspired through his arm. In the subsequent years, Edward II of England introduced some form of standardization. He also introduced the statute foot, that was 10/11 smaller than the earlier foot. It was decided that the length of the foot was set after the year 1959, following when the International yard-and-pound convention was signed. Since then, the length of one yard within the United States and countries in the British Commonwealth is approximately 0.9144 meters. The first time yard size was established in the beginning feet could also be measured. Similar to:

1 foot = (1/3) * yard = (1/3) * 0.9144 m = 0.3048 m

In the US two types of feet are commonly used on a daily basis. They are the one that is utilized for international travel , and the foot that is used to survey.

1. Foot internationalAlso called"the"standard" foot. It was initially standardized in the late 1950s. It is used extensively across diverse areas and has the equivalent of 0.3048 meters 1 . International foot 0.3048 millimeters. We've used the symbol to demonstrate exactly the quantity. The measurement globally used is the same as human are feet, and that's the dimensions 13 (UK) (UK) and 14 (US male).
2. Survey foot Here can be described as the US survey foot. is similar in size and shape with the bottom of Earth. But the word Nearly is the most significant . It is precisely 1200/3937 meters. 1 US survey foot = 1200/3937 m 0,30480060960121920243840487680975... m As you can see, this appears as a small change however, something is different once you reach 7th decimal! It's just 0.609 mm 609 nanometers when you are comparing the kind of foot you've got to the other. What's significance? It's crucial because this distinction doesn't apply when measuring small objects but it's significant when we start measuring many thousands of feet, like when mapping or using SPCS which is the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). The law which governs the foot survey is different across fifty states.
   • The law of 24 states state that the measures used for surveying must be built on the US feet of surveys. US foot of survey
   • Eight states have taken a vote to take the decision , in accordance to the global foot
   • 18 states don't have specific rates for conversion in the unit of metrics. Don't stress about this if there's a requirement for conversion for your normal conveyances or when you're conducting a survey of land. It's not that crucial for smaller dimensions (less an inch) and it doesn't matter what definition you choose to apply.
   There's another measurement of the foot. This is the Indian survey foot . It's described as precisely 0.3047996 M: 1. Indian survey feet are equal to 0.3047996 meters

Feet and the entire imperial system is used extensively within the US. It's not just an issue of time. The US is thought as the only industrialized country in the world to not have adopted the International System of Units, that is called the measurement system of the measurement unit called metric. Two other countries that use this measurement system include Liberia situated in Africa in Africa in Africa, and Myanmar (also known as Burma) situated within Southeast Asia. Canadians and the British utilize a combination of two systems: imperial as well as that of the metric system (e.g. the height of men is usually expressed in feet , but inches may also be employed).

Feet aren't utilized extensively in nations that don't have native English people. A good example would be the use of elevations on an aircraft in the travel industry globally.

Meter definition

Meter (British English: metre) is the most basic length unit that is used in a multitude of metrics, including those used by the International System of Units (SI).

The definition of "meters" was altered as the methodologies of measuring developed scientifically. The definition of "meter" is what is the direction in which light travels in a vacuum . It is 1/992,458 second.

What was its meaning when it was first established?

• The first tests of the definition of meter were conducted in 1790. The year 1790 was the first time it was established in 1790 that the French National Assembly decided that the length of the new meter will be roughly that of the pendulum , plus one-second of half-period. Find out the exactness of this figure using our pendulum calculator. Enter your number into the pendulum's duration box , and you'll be able to find the length of the pendulum. It's really only a few meters (0.993621 metres).

• In 1973 The diameter of Earth was chosen as an unambiguous reference point. "Meter" was the term that was used to describe "meter" was used to refer to one-tenth of the distance from and the Equator to the north pole. North Pole: 1 meter is one-tenth of the meridional circle of Earth that extends along the meridian which links Paris to Paris in addition to Earth and Paris
• 1799-1889, beginning in 1799 until 1889 in the period between 1799 and, brass, platinum and the alloy of 10 percent Iridium and platinum meter bars were made with an alloy that extended all the way to meridian which runs across the Earth. At the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889, they defined that"meter" was defined as "meter" as the length which is located between the two lines of an ordinary bar made of this kind of alloy. It is the International Prototype Meter is situated in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures situated within Sevres just outside of Paris. The definition of meter was in use until 1960, but it was adopted as the norm at 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures.
• Between 1960 and 1983 between 1960 and 1983, the meters were upgraded during that decade. It was upgraded to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths, which were the result of radioactive red-orange Krypton86 under certain conditions.
• 17th Conference defined"meter" in the 17th Conference to mean 1/299,792,458 in the sense of how much light travels in one second. the definition for the"meter "meter" is in effect till the present.

The table below provides the time-line definition of meters (by Cardarelli 2003).

The Imperial (US) measure system. US measurement system

The Imperial measuring system that is used is used The US measurement system, and those used in the US measurement systems aren't the same , but for length measurements, they're the same (they differ in terms of volume measurements, which means e.g. that the cup could have an amount of floz, but this is different from the measurement systems). The only countries to not recognize the system of metric were those of the US, Liberia and Myanmar.

The six most frequently used US length units (also known as Imperial length units) were included in our length converter:

• 1 thousandth of an inch (mil or one millimeter) (mil or millimeter)),
• Inches (in),
• feet (ft),
• inches and feet
• yards (yd),
• miles (mi).

There are two additional length units, however , we've removed them from the length converter on purpose: The term "furlong" refers to the fact that the length of one length of an inch's convert ratio doesn't seem to be well-defined as well as league is the most widely utilized measurement throughout Europe in Europe and Latin America but is no any way the only official measurement for any among the other. However, you'll be able to find these units in the table below along with the most commonly used values:

Unit	Comparatively to the previous	Feet	Millimeters	Meters
Thous (th)		1/12000	0.0254	0.0000254
inch (in)	1000 thou	1/12	25.4	0.0254

Metric measurement system

The measurement system metric, often described as"the International System of Units (SI) is an international decimal-based system of measurements as well as of weights. It is extensively utilized all over the world (apart from the three countries mentioned in the earlier paragraphs) It is simple to use, practical and effective. The four primary measurement units that are part of the measurement system are:

• meters ( m) for length
