What is a pole used for in measurements?

A pole, also known as a rod or perch, is a traditional English unit used historically in surveying and land measurement, equal to 16.5 feet or 5.0292 metres.

How does a kiloyard relate to other units?

A kiloyard equals 1,000 yards and is used to express large yard-based distances, corresponding to 914.4 metres.

Why convert poles to kiloyards?

Converting poles to kiloyards helps translate historic land measurement units into larger yard-based units suitable for modern engineering, surveying, and infrastructure planning.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to change measurements from poles, a historic English length unit used in land surveying, into kiloyards, a large yard-based non-SI unit for expressing long distances.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the length value measured in poles into the input field
Select pole as the input unit and kiloyard [kyd] as the output unit
Click convert to get the equivalent length expressed in kiloyards

Key Features

Converts length values from poles to kiloyards accurately using established rates
Ideal for interpreting historical land measurement data and modern large-scale planning
Simple browser-based interface requiring no installation or special knowledge

Examples

10 poles converts to 0.055 kiloyard [kyd]
100 poles converts to 0.55 kiloyard [kyd]

Common Use Cases

Updating cadastral records by converting rods/poles from historic surveys into modern units
Expressing extensive distances such as military firing ranges in kiloyards
Translating historical agricultural field dimensions into units compatible with current engineering standards

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm historical measurement contexts before converting poles to ensure accuracy
Use the tool to simplify expressing long distances by shifting from poles to kiloyards
Consider additional unit conversions if metric-only values are required

Limitations

The pole is a traditional, non-standard unit mainly used in historical settings, so verification is necessary for accuracy
Kiloyards are non-SI units and may require further conversion for strict metric applications
Conversions yield fractional kiloyard values due to the pole’s small size relative to kiloyard, which might require rounding
