What is a fingerbreadth?

A fingerbreadth is an informal unit based on the width of an adult finger, roughly about 1.5 to 2 cm, used for quick, approximate measurements.

What does one centiinch [cin] represent?

One centiinch [cin] equals one hundredth of an inch, or 0.254 millimeters, used for finer subdivisions than whole inches.

Why convert fingerbreadths to centiinch?

This conversion helps translate informal, approximate measurements into a finer, moderately precise unit suitable for manufacturing, engineering, and other technical fields.
