A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch, used primarily for finer scale measurement in manufacturing and graphic work.

Where was the arpent unit commonly used?

The arpent was historically used in France and regions influenced by French colonial land measurement such as Quebec and Louisiana.

Why are arpent values variable?

The arpent’s exact length varied depending on the region and historical period, which affects conversion accuracy.

Examples

100 Centiinch [cin] converts to approximately 0.00043402777777778 Arpent.
1000 Centiinch [cin] converts to approximately 0.0043402777777778 Arpent.

Common Use Cases

Specifying tolerances in manufacturing with hundredths of an inch.
Communicating dimensions in print or graphic layouts using centiinch.
Interpreting old land descriptions measured in arpents for legal or surveying purposes.
Translating historical parcel measurements from French colonial land records.

Tips & Best Practices

Always double-check the historical context when converting arpents, as values varied by region and period.
Use the conversion tool for approximate translations rather than precision international metrology measurements.
Be mindful of small fractional results when working with arpents and use careful interpretation.

Limitations

The arpent’s length varied historically, so conversions might not be exact everywhere.
Centiinch is an informal and nonstandard unit not widely recognized internationally.
Results in arpents can be very small fractional numbers requiring careful consideration.
