A centiinch is a nonstandard length equal to one hundredth of an inch, commonly used for specifying dimensions with moderate precision in manufacturing and graphic work.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a derived length scale representing the theoretical distance related to the electron's electrostatic energy and is used in physics rather than as a literal size.

Why are the converted values so large?

Because the electron radius is an extremely small scale compared to the centiinch, the conversion results in large numerical values expressing one unit in terms of many electron radii.

Common Use Cases

Translating manufacturing measurements in hundredths of an inch to quantum physics scales
Supporting engineering documentation that requires converting inch-based units to metric-related fundamental constants
Facilitating calculations in atomic, plasma, and astrophysical research involving electromagnetic scattering

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion when working across physics and engineering domains to relate human-scale and atomic-scale lengths
Be aware of the nonstandard nature of centiinch when documenting measurements internationally
Consider the theoretical context of the electron radius as a scattering length rather than a true physical size

Limitations

Centiinch is an informal unit with limited international recognition, affecting standardization
The classical electron radius is a theoretical scale and not a physical dimension of an electron
Resulting conversion values are extremely large due to the scale difference, reducing practical direct comparisons
