What is a furlong (US survey)?

It is a historical non-SI length unit used in US surveying, defined as exactly 660 US survey feet or about 201.1684 meters.

Why convert furlongs to microns?

This conversion helps relate large-scale historical land measurements to microscopic metric units used in science and engineering.

Are conversions between these units precise?

Precision relies on the exact definitions of US survey feet and meters; small variations in survey standards may affect the result.
