A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch (0.01 in), primarily used for moderate precision measurements without resorting to thousandths.

What is an X-unit used for?

The X-unit is a historic length unit applied in X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy to represent X-ray wavelengths and interatomic distances on a sub-ångström scale.

Why convert from centiinch to X-unit?

Conversion helps relate moderate-precision mechanical measures to atomic scale units used historically in crystallography and spectroscopy for detailed comparisons.
