What is a microinch used for?

A microinch is used to express very small linear distances such as surface roughness, coating thicknesses, and fine tolerances in engineering and manufacturing.

What was the Roman actus historically used for?

The Roman actus was an ancient unit used primarily for land measurement and surveying, defining distances, field boundaries, and area units in Roman times.

Why convert from microinch to Roman actus?

Conversions are useful for educational, archaeological, and historical research to relate modern fine measurements with ancient Roman land measures.
