A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch (0.01 in), commonly used for fine-scale dimensional measurements.

Where is the link (US survey) unit used?

The link (US survey) is a historical length unit used primarily in US land surveying, cadastral mapping, and civil engineering projects involving legacy records.

Why convert centiinch to link (US survey)?

Converting from centiinch to link aids in relating fine-scale manufacturing or engineering dimensions to historical land survey units for accurate data interpretation.

Common Use Cases

Specifying dimensions in manufacturing and machining at hundredths of an inch scale.
Interpreting and converting historical US land survey plats and deed measurements.
Reconciliating modern engineering data with legacy cadastral and survey records.
Working in printing and graphic layout with fine-scale inch dimensions.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the informal and nonstandard nature of the centiinch when applying conversions.
Use the tool primarily for legacy survey and manufacturing contexts where these units persist.
Be aware of the historical context and measurement tolerances when converting to the link (US survey).
Check original measurement contexts to ensure appropriate use of these units.

Limitations

Centiinch is an informal subdivision, restricting its use to certain industries and documents.
Link (US survey) is historical and rare outside legacy surveying, possibly causing confusion today.
Differences in precision and historical usage require mindful application of conversion results.
