What is the vara castellana?

The vara castellana is a traditional Spanish length unit historically standardized around 0.8359 metres, used in Spain and its territories for land and building measurements.

What is a microinch used for?

A microinch is one millionth of an inch, primarily used to express very small distances such as surface roughness, coating thickness, and fine tolerances in engineering.

How do I convert vara castellana to microinch?

Multiply the number of vara castellana units by 32,880,000 to get the equivalent in microinch.
