What is a perch unit?

A perch is a historical unit of length equal to 16.5 feet or about 5.0292 metres, mainly used in surveying and land measurement.

What does centiinch [cin] represent?

Centiinch [cin] is a nonstandard length unit that equals one hundredth of an inch (0.01 in), used for specifying finer measurements without using thousandths of an inch.

Why convert perch to centiinch [cin]?

Converting perch to centiinch helps translate obsolete land measurements into finer, more precise units suitable for modern engineering, machining, or graphic layout tasks.

Common Use Cases

Translating measurements in historical property or boundary records.
Converting old surveying dimensions into precise modern units.
Specifying moderate precision dimensions in manufacturing and machining.
Communicating fine-scale measurements in print and graphic design.
Converting small inch values to metric equivalents for engineering documentation.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify historical context when interpreting perch values due to its obsolescence.
Use centiinch [cin] for moderate precision needs rather than highly standardized measurements.
Double-check converted results if applied in critical manufacturing or engineering documentation.
Remember the centiinch is not internationally standardized, so consider its informal status.

Limitations

The perch is an outdated and non-standard length unit.
Centiinch [cin] is an informal, nonstandard subdivision of the inch.
