A famn is a traditional maritime unit of length equivalent to one fathom, used for measuring nautical depths and distances.

What does centiinch [cin] represent?

The centiinch [cin] is a nonstandard unit equal to one hundredth of an inch, used for finer scale measurements in manufacturing and layout work.

Why convert famn to centiinch?

To translate large nautical length measurements into smaller, more precise increments useful in engineering, manufacturing, or printing contexts.
