What is a Russian archin?

The Russian archin is an old Russian unit of length equal to 16 vershoks or 28 English inches, approximately 0.7112 metres, used before metrication.

Why convert Russian archin to micrometers?

Converting Russian archin lengths to micrometers allows precise scientific measurements and supports historical research and restoration requiring microscale accuracy.

Are conversions exact?

Conversions are approximate because the Russian archin is obsolete and its exact length varied slightly historically.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting lengths in 18th and 19th century Russian trade and textile documentation.
Restoring historic buildings or artifacts documented with Russian archin measurements.
Performing scientific analysis requiring precise micrometer scale dimensions.
Converting old maps and property records featuring Russian archin lengths.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm that historical sources use the standard Russian archin definition for accuracy.
Use micrometer results for detailed microscale measurements and scientific needs.
Be aware that very large numbers result from converting to micrometers, so handle data accordingly.
Consider the approximate nature of the archin since it varied slightly historically.

Limitations

The Russian archin is obsolete and had minor historical variations, so conversions are approximate.
Micrometer conversions produce large values that may be impractical for everyday use.
Accuracy depends on ensuring the original measurement corresponds to the standard Russian archin definition.
