What is a long reed unit?

A long reed is an obsolete traditional measure of length used historically in land measurement, varying by region and time.

What does the angstrom measure?

An angstrom is a unit equal to 1×10⁻¹⁰ meters, used to describe atomic and molecular scale distances.

Why do conversion results produce large numbers?

Because angstroms represent extremely small lengths compared to the long reed, resulting values are very large.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms measurements from the historical long reed unit, traditionally used in land and local surveying, into angstroms [Å], which are used to express extremely small atomic and molecular distances.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the length value measured in long reeds.
Select 'long reed' as the source unit and 'angstrom [Å]' as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent length in angstroms.

Key Features

Converts lengths from the obsolete long reed unit to angstroms [Å].
Uses a fixed conversion rate linking traditional and atomic-scale units.
Facilitates accurate interpretation of historical and scientific length data.

Examples

2 long reeds convert to 64,008,000,000 Å.
0.5 long reed converts to 16,002,000,000 Å.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historical land measurements from old deeds and maps.
Converting legacy surveying data for modern boundary restoration projects.
Researching regional and historical measurement systems.
Expressing legacy length data in atomic-scale units for scientific analysis.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the historical context for the long reed measurement to improve conversion reliability.
Be prepared to manage very large numerical results due to the scale difference.
Use this tool alongside historical research for best accuracy.
Check converted values carefully when integrating into scientific or digital mapping applications.

Limitations

The long reed unit varies in length by region and period, causing uncertainty in conversions.
Ångström units are much smaller, so converted values become very large and may require careful handling.
