The kiloyard is a non-SI unit equal to 1,000 yards, commonly used to express large yard-based distances, equivalent to 914.4 metres.

Why use the US survey foot in conversions?

The US survey foot is used for land surveying and mapping in the United States and is defined precisely to align with legacy survey records.

Can this tool be used for construction measurements?

Yes, it is useful for converting measurements in projects that require consistency with older survey data and engineering standards.
