What is a Russian archin?

It is an old Russian unit of length equal to 16 vershoks or about 28 English inches, used before metrication mainly for trade and crafts.

Why use angstroms for conversion?

Angstroms are used to express microscopic distances like atomic radii and crystal lattice spacings, providing a scientific scale for historical measurements.

Can this tool be used for modern measurements?

No, the Russian archin is obsolete, so this tool is intended for historical and research purposes, not contemporary measurements.

How to Convert from Russian Archin to Angstrom [A]

What Is This Tool?

This converter enables users to transform measurements from the Russian archin, a traditional Russian length unit, into angstroms, a unit used for atomic and molecular scale distances.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the length value measured in Russian archins.
Select 'Russian archin' as the input unit and 'angstrom [A]' as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent length expressed in angstroms.

Key Features

Converts obsolete Russian archin lengths to angstrom units accurately.
Supports historical and scientific research by linking old measurements to nanoscale units.
Browser-based and easy to use for both experts and casual users.

Examples

2 Russian archins equal 14,224,000,000 angstroms.
0.5 Russian archin equals 3,556,000,000 angstroms.

Common Use Cases

Translating fabric length measurements from pre-metric Russian tailoring records.
Analyzing 18th and 19th-century maps or property documents with arshin lengths.
Restoring historic artifacts where original measurements use the archin.
Applying angstrom measurements in crystallography and atomic physics after conversion.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify historic context to ensure the archin value aligns regionally before conversion.
Use this tool primarily for research and preservation rather than daily measurements.
Understand that angstrom results can be large numbers due to the unit’s nanoscale size.

Limitations

The Russian archin is obsolete and mostly relevant in historical contexts.
Converted angstrom values may be large and cumbersome for non-scientific use.
Minor variations in the archin measurement historically may affect precision.
