What is the inch (US survey) unit?

It is a legacy surveying unit equal to 1/12 of the US survey foot and defined exactly as 100/3937 metres, historically used in U.S. geodetic and cadastral surveys.

What is the X-unit used for?

The X-unit is a historical length unit used in X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy to express X-ray wavelengths and interatomic distances at a sub-ångström scale.

Why convert from inch (US survey) to X-unit?

This conversion helps integrate legacy land measurement data with precise atomic-scale measurements useful in interdisciplinary studies like crystallography and geodesy.
