A reed is an old or regional length measurement that varied historically and geographically, often based on the length of a reed plant or measuring rod.

What does caliber [cl] mean?

Caliber [cl] refers to the internal diameter of a gun barrel and is also used as a dimensionless measure of barrel length relative to bore diameter.

Why convert from reed to caliber [cl]?

Converting helps translate obsolete length units into terms used in firearms and artillery, aiding in research and technical calculations.

Provides quick translations for obscure or archaic length units to standard firearm terminology.
Web-based and easy to use without needing specialized equipment.

Examples

2 Reed converts to 21600 Caliber [cl].
0.5 Reed converts to 5400 Caliber [cl].

Common Use Cases

Interpreting obsolete land records or historical documents using the reed measurement.
Performing engineering or ballistics calculations involving barrel dimensions expressed in calibers.
Supporting archaeological or ethnographic studies reconstructing old measurement systems.
Enabling comparisons and calculations related to firearm bore diameter and barrel length.

Tips & Best Practices

Double-check historical context to understand which reed definition applies due to regional variations.
Remember caliber [cl] is a relative measure linked to bore diameter, useful mainly for comparison purposes.
Use this tool to assist with research or technical calculations where standard units are preferred.
Keep in mind the limitations inherent in converting obsolete and variable units.

Limitations

The reed is an obsolete measurement with values that differ by location and time period, which can cause uncertainty.
Caliber [cl] is a dimensionless unit related to bore diameter, so the conversion reflects comparative size rather than exact physical length.
This tool is best suited for analytical or historical interpretation rather than precise measurement.
