A pole is a traditional English unit of length used in surveying and land measurement, equal to 16.5 feet or 5.0292 metres.

What does microinch measure?

A microinch is one millionth of an inch, used to express very small distances like surface finish or coating thickness in engineering.

Why convert pole to microinch?

This conversion helps translate large traditional survey measurements into very fine engineering units for applications like manufacturing and aerospace.
