What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you translate measurements from foot (ft), an imperial and U.S. customary unit of length, into rod (US survey) (rd), a unit traditionally used in land surveying and legal descriptions for properties and boundaries.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in foot (ft) you want to convert.
  • Choose 'foot [ft]' as the input unit and 'rod (US survey) [rd]' as the output unit.
  • Perform the conversion to receive the equivalent length in rods (US survey).

Key Features

  • Converts foot (ft) to rod (US survey) (rd) based on defined conversion rates.
  • Supports length measurement conversions relevant to surveying, construction, and legal land documentation.
  • Provides exact conversion formulas and practical examples for clarity.

Examples

  • 10 ft converts to approximately 0.606059394 rd.
  • 50 ft converts to approximately 3.03029697 rd.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting measurements in construction and architectural settings from feet to rods (US survey).
  • Interpreting distances in historical US land surveys and cadastral records.
  • Translating property boundary measurements recorded in legacy survey units for modern use.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you know which foot standard is used, as variations exist between the US survey foot and the international foot.
  • Use this tool primarily for land measurement, surveying, and legal property descriptions where rods remain relevant.
  • Refer to the conversion formula carefully when working with precise historical data or legal documents.

Limitations

  • The rod is a legacy unit less common in modern measurement outside surveying and land boundaries.
  • Differences between the US survey foot and international foot can impact conversion accuracy.
  • Not typically applicable for everyday measurements beyond surveying or property mapping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a foot (ft)?
A foot (ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems, exactly defined as 0.3048 metres and commonly used to express heights and distances.

What is a rod (US survey)?
A rod (US survey), also called a pole or perch, is a surveying unit equal to exactly 16.5 US survey feet and used mainly for land measurement and legal property boundary descriptions.

Why convert from foot to rod (US survey)?
Converting from foot to rod (US survey) helps interpret and compare measurements in older legal land records, cadastral maps, and surveying documents that use rods as the unit.

Key Terminology

Foot [ft]
A length unit in imperial and U.S. customary systems, exactly 0.3048 metres, used in various engineering and everyday measurements.
Rod (US survey) [rd]
A traditional surveying unit equal to 16.5 US survey feet, used in land measurement and legal property descriptions.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to multiply one unit value to obtain its equivalent in another unit, here 1 foot equals 0.0606059394 rod (US survey).
