What is a US survey mile?

The US survey mile is a length unit used in the United States equal to exactly 5,280 US survey feet, primarily for historical surveying and mapping consistency.

A centiinch is a nonstandard length equal to one hundredth of an inch, used chiefly in manufacturing and graphic layout for finer measurement divisions.

Why convert from mile (US survey) to centiinch?

Users convert to translate large-scale survey distances into smaller inch-based units suitable for precision engineering, manufacturing, and tooling.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows users to transform measurements from the US survey mile, a traditional surveying length, into centiinch, a smaller informal subdivision of the inch. It is designed to support applications requiring precise length subdivisions bridging legacy survey distances with fine engineered or manufacturing tolerances.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in miles (US survey) you wish to convert.
Select "mile (US survey) [mi]" as the original unit and "centiinch [cin]" as the target unit.
Click "convert" to see the output in centiinches instantly.

Key Features

Converts mile (US survey) measurements to centiinch units accurately.
Supports length measurement conversions relevant to surveying and machining.
Offers a simple interface for quick input and output of values.
Browser-based tool with no installation required.
Useful for integrating historical survey data with contemporary inch-based precision scales.

Examples

2 mile (US survey) = 12,672,025.34405 centiinch
0.5 mile (US survey) = 3,168,006.33601265 centiinch

Common Use Cases

Converting large land survey distances into finer inch-based subdivisions for manufacturing.
Bridging cadastral and land survey data with engineering documentation requiring inch hundredths.
Interpreting older legal property descriptions with precise, smaller-scale measurement units.
Supporting machining and print layout processes that use hundredths of inches.

Tips & Best Practices

Double-check unit selection to avoid mixing standard international miles with US survey miles.
Use the tool for approximate conversions where centiinch units are appropriate rather than formal standards.
Keep track of large number results carefully when converting extensive land distances.
Apply converted measurements in compatible engineering or manufacturing contexts using inch-based units.

Limitations

Centiinch is an informal and nonstandard unit, so it may not be officially recognized in all settings.
Converting large lengths results in very large numbers that require precision handling.
US survey mile differs subtly from international miles, limiting interchangeability in standardized contexts.
