What is a microinch used for?

A microinch measures very small linear distances typically in engineering, such as specifying surface roughness or coating thickness on precision components.

Where is the furlong (US survey) unit still applied?

The furlong (US survey) appears in historical land surveys, older legal land descriptions, and traditional horse racing distances mostly within the United States.

Why convert microinch to furlong units?

Converting between microinch and furlong helps relate precision engineering measurements to historical land surveying units, supporting cross-disciplinary understanding.
