A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch, mainly used for finer measurements at a scale smaller than whole inches.

What does famn represent?

Famn is a traditional maritime length unit equivalent to one fathom or six feet, used to measure depths and nautical distances.

Why convert centiinch to famn?

Converting centiinch to famn helps bridge fine industrial measurements with maritime units, useful in maritime navigation, historical research, and cross-disciplinary engineering.
