What is a Russian archin?

The Russian archin is an obsolete unit of length equal to 16 vershoks or about 28 English inches, used historically in Russia before metrication.

How long is one kiloyard in meters?

One kiloyard equals 1,000 yards, which is 914.4 meters using the international yard standard.

Why convert from Russian archin to kiloyard?

Converting helps interpret historic Russian measurements in modern yard-based systems, especially for large distances in military or engineering contexts.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting old Russian length measurements alongside modern yard-based distances
Converting historic cloth or textile measurements into larger scale yard units
Analyzing long distances for military, surveying, or infrastructure purposes using standard yard-based units

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the historical source of measurements due to variability in archin definitions
Use conversions for large-scale distance approximations rather than small, precise lengths
Double-check converted values when integrating with metric or yard-based engineering data

Limitations

The Russian archin is obsolete and may vary across historical references
Kiloyard is a non-SI unit suitable for large distances but not for fine measurements
Rounding and changing definitions of the archin might influence conversion accuracy
