What is a Russian archin?

It is an obsolete Russian unit of length equal to 16 vershoks or 28 English inches, approximately 0.7112 meters, used before the metric system in Russia.

What does mil [mil, thou] measure?

A mil, also called a thou, is one thousandth of an inch and commonly used for specifying small thicknesses, tolerances, and clearances in U.S. manufacturing and engineering.

Why convert Russian archin to mil units?

Converting Russian archin to mil allows translating historical Russian lengths into precise units used in modern manufacturing and engineering for detailed dimensions.

Click convert to see the result in mil units.

Key Features

Converts obsolete Russian archin units to mils accurately using a fixed conversion ratio.
Useful for translating historical measurements into contemporary engineering terms.
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and output.

Examples

1 Russian archin equals 28000 mil.
0.5 Russian archin equals 14000 mil.

Common Use Cases

Converting textile lengths and trade measurements recorded in historical Russian documents.
Restoring vintage Russian artifacts and buildings where lengths are specified in arshins.
Applying precise length conversions for manufacturing processes that require mil measurements like electronics and mechanical parts.

Tips & Best Practices

Double-check the historical context when using Russian archin values since it is an obsolete unit.
Use the conversion for detailed manufacturing where mil-based tolerances are common.
Handle very small mil values carefully to maintain accuracy in measurements.

Limitations

Russian archin is no longer in use, so conversions rely on approximate historical definitions.
Mil units represent extremely small lengths which can require careful attention to detail in rounding and precision.
Conversion accuracy depends on understanding the historical measurement context.
