A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch (0.01 in) and used for finer scale measurements than whole inches.

What does a Roman actus represent?

The Roman actus is an ancient Roman length unit equal to 120 Roman feet or about 35.5 meters, used mainly in Roman land surveying.

Can I use this converter for precise engineering calculations?

Due to the informal nature of centiinch and approximations in Roman actus, this tool is best for comparative and historical purposes rather than high-precision engineering.

Common Use Cases

Specifying moderate-precision dimensions in manufacturing using hundredths of an inch
Interpreting Roman land measurements in archaeological and historical research
Converting small-inch measurements to relate to large ancient land units
Comparing modern engineering tolerances with historical surveying data

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct unit selection for accurate conversions
Use in context where fine length units intersect with historical measurement systems
Understand the informal nature of centiinch and approximation of Roman actus
Apply results primarily for comparative or interpretive purposes rather than precise engineering calculations

Limitations

Centiinch is nonstandard and informal, lacking international legal definition
Roman actus values are approximate due to its ancient origin
Conversion yields very small numbers making practical use limited in direct measurement
Not suitable for applications requiring standardized unit accuracy
