We've decided to make a few variables for conversion to ensure they fit into this table. So, some numbers aren't completely accurate but they do offer some degree of precision.

Length conversion chart

You're seeking a way to swiftly switch between units within one system? take a look at these two fundamental length conversion charts:

1. The method for measuring metrics.

To provide an example:

• 6 km = 6 * 1000 = 6000 m
• 180 cm = 180 / 100 = 1.8 m

1. Imperial US measuring system. US measure system

For example:

• 5 yd = 5 * 3 = 15 ft

Inch definition

The inch (abbreviate as in", or ") refers to a measurement of length within the Imperial or the US standard system of metric measurement. The word"inch" has several definitions - the dimensions of the human thumb. In various language e.g. Norwegian, Afrikaans, Italian or French the word "inch" is derived from the word"thumb" in some instances, but it's the same concept. In the 14th century and beyond An inch was defined by George V of England. George V of England by a definition of three grains of barley, dry and round laid across the ends and in length. What is an inch? The concept of the word changed throughout the years and in the 1950's, a standard for international usage was set, and, since then, an inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters.

1 in = 2.54 cm

A single inch equals one third of one yard. 1/12 of a foot or 1/63360 of a mile.

In a day-to-day basis, inches are used in a variety of countries such as in the US, UK, Canada as well as other nations that were once members of the British Empire. Along with length, width and width are also measured the same way, as are the various sizes measured using units that are made up of inches (e.g. dimensions of footwear).

What's the measurement in inches? It's not only across the US however, but around the globe?

• screen dimensions of monitors, smartphones TVs, and monitors (specifically diagonal dimensions of rectangular displays)
• resolution on the screen PPI (pixels per inch)
• Dimensions of tires Dimensions of tires e.g. bicycle or car wheels,
• various equipment and pipes in various sizes
• Certain sports equipments are based on the measure of inches. e.g. is used in archery.
• in sciences, e.g. Acoustics in science, for instance. The Acoustics microphones, as well as the dimensions of loudspeakers

The phrase "International inch" refers to: International inch is the same as:

• 10,000 Tenths
• 1,000 thou/mil
• 100 point or tears
• 72 PostScript points
• 6 computer picas
• 3 barleycorns
• 2.54 centimeters exactly
• 0.999998 US Survey inches
• 1/3 of 0.333 palms
• 1/8 to 0.25 hands
• 1/12 (1/12) or 0.08333 feet
• 1/36 or 0.02777 yards

Feet definition

Foot (abbreviate in the form of "ft," or "') is a measurement unit of length utilized in the Imperial or US standard measurement system. It's a measurement based around the human physique, as the name implies. The measurement was standardized during the 50s and has been after that, is equivalent to 0.3048 meters, which is precisely:

1 ft = 0.3048 m = 304.8 mm

The use of feet was used since the beginning of time in diverse civilizations. However, the length of a foot varied from one culture to the next. The foot was used, e.g. in:

• Ancient Rome: 1 foot = 11.6 inches (295.7 mm). This was a standard-sized foot, however in some provinces, it may be as large than 13.2 inches (334 mm)
• Greece: 1 foot = 10.6-13.8 inches (270 - 350 millimeters)
• Indus cities during the Bronze Age: 1 foot equals 13.2 inches (333.5 millimeters)
• Egypt, the equivalent of 12 inches in feet (304.8 millimeters)

The imperial public measure that is not officially recognized. standards, Greenwich

Measurement of the feet is used for feet England the measurement for feet is used in England England measurements of feet also changed over the centuries, beginning with Roman standards, and then Belgic Celts foot of 13.2 inches or Welsh foot was introduced, then gone. The definition of feet differed in different regions, as well as from city to city, and finally the kings altered the measure according to their own personal preference - e.g., Henry I was believed to have ordered the creation of a new standard, which was based upon his arm. Following that, Edward II of England introduced an element of standardization, and also created the statute foot which was 10/11 of the prior foot. Finalization on the size of the feet came more later, in the year of 1959, shortly after the year when the International yard-and-pound convention was adopted. Since it was adopted, the length one yard in the United States and countries in the British Commonwealth is equal to exactly 0.9144 meters. When the first yard measurement was established, feet could be measured the same way. This is similar to:

1 foot = (1/3) * yard = (1/3) * 0.9144 m = 0.3048 m

in the US two kinds of feet are utilized frequently that is the international foot, or the survey feet.

1. International footAlso called the standard foot, and was first standardized in the 50s. It is used extensively in a range of different applications. It's actually the equivalent to 0.3048 millimeters: One international foot 0.3048 millimeters and we've used the symbol to signal that it is precisely that number. The measure in the international market is equivalent to that of the foot in the US, with the size of thirteen (UK) as well as 14 (US male).
2. Survey foot This is the US survey foot is virtually identical to the bottom of the earth. But, the word About The key . The definition of survey feet is exactly 1200/3937 meters. 1 US survey foot = 1200/3937 m 0,30480060960121920243840487680975... m As you will see, it's a minor change - but something is different when you get to the 7th decimal! The difference is as little as 0.609 millimeters, 609 nanometers, when you compare one type of foot to another. Why is this significant? It's important because the difference is small when measuring small objects, however , the difference is significant when we start measuring thousands of feet such as when mapping in the use of the state plan coordinate system (SPCS). In addition, the laws concerning the foot survey differ between all 50 states.
   • 24 states have passed laws which stipulates that the measures of survey should be based on US Survey foot. US foot of survey
   • 8 states have chosen to announce the decision in line with the global foot
   • 18 states are yet to specify the proportion of the conversion to units in metric. Don't be concerned about it too much if you're seeking the convert to cover your usual conveyances, or when you're surveying of land The difference is small for distances of less than one mile (less 1 mile) and it doesn't matter what definition you settle on.
   Another measurement for the foot, specifically the Indian survey foot . It's described as precisely 0.3047996 M: 1. Indian survey foot equals 0.3047996 m

Feet as well as the whole imperial system are widely used throughout the US. The only exception is in the US. The US is notable for being the only nation with an industrialization in the world that hasn't recognized their International System of Units, also known as the system of measurement using units of measurement in the metric unit. Two other countries using this measurement system include Liberia within Africa within Africa as well as Myanmar (also also known as Burma) located in Southeast Asia. Canadians as well as the British employ a combination of both systems, imperial and metric (e.g. men's height is generally expressed in feet, however inches are also utilized).

Feet aren't commonly used in the non-English-speaking world. The most obvious instance could be that of the measuring for elevation within the air travel industry.

Meter definition

Meter (British English: metre) is the basis length unit for many metrics, which includes those of the International System of Units (SI).

The definition of meter has changed when the scientific methods of measuring evolved. The definition is that of the distance that light travels in a vacuum. It is within 1/992,458 second.

What was its definition through the decades?

• The first experiments with the definition of meter began in 1790. In 1790 the French National Assembly decided that the length of the new meters should be exactly equal to its pendulum length with a half-period of 1 second. Find the exactitude of this figure by using our calculator for pendulums. Enter 2 into the pendulum's time box and you'll be able find the length of the pendulum. In actuality, it's in close proximity to the 1-meter marker (0.993621 millimeters).

• In 1973 the circumference Earth was chosen as an impartial reference point. The term "meter" was used to mean one-tenth of the distance between the equator to the north pole. North Pole: 1 meter is one-tenth of a quarter meridional radius of the Earth which extends across the meridian connecting two points: Earth and Paris
• Between 1799 and the year 1889, from 1799 to 1889, brass platinum and the mixture that consists of platinum as well as 10 Iridium meters were made, on an example of the base which corresponds to the measurement of meridian of Earth. It was during the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889, they defined the length of a meter which is measured by two lines within the typical bar constructed from this kind of alloy. The international prototype meter is maintained within the International Bureau of Weights and Measures located in Sevres near Paris. The meter definition was utilized from 1960 onwards, and later in 1960, it was used again in the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures.
• From 1960 until 1983, the meters were altered in the year 1960. The name was changed from 1,650,763.73 wavelengths from Krypton86, the radiation with red and orange. Krypton86 under certain conditions.
• 17th Conference defined"meter" at 1/299,792,458 within the meaning of the speed at which light travels within the space of a second. Its definition of"meter" remains in force until the present.

The following table summarizes the development of the term "meter" (by Cardarelli in 2003).

Imperial (US) measure system. US measurement system

In the US, the Imperial US measurement system as well as the US measurements systems may not be exactly the identical, however for length measurements, they're identical (they differ in volume measures, meaning e.g. the cup might have a some floz which differs from the two measurement systems). The only countries that didn't accept the metrics included three countries: the US, Liberia and Myanmar.

A total of six of the commonly used US length units (also called imperial length units) were included in our length converter:

• one thousandth of an inch (mil or one thousandth of an inch (mil /),
• inches (in),
• feet (ft),
• inches and feet
• yards (yd),
• miles (mi).

There are two more length units, but we have excluded these of the length converter on purpose: The term "furlong" refers to the fact that a "furlong"'s conversion ratio isn't widely understood in the same way. The term "league" was once the most popular measurement in Europe together with Latin America but is no more an official term in any region. But, you can locate them listed below, as well as the most commonly used values:

Metric measurement system

The measurement system metric, also called"the International System of Units (SI) makes use of an internationally-based decimal system that can be used for weights as well as calculations. It is widely used throughout the world (apart of one of the countries which are listed earlier) It's simple to understand, rational, and practical. The four main measurement units in the metric system are:

• meters ( m) for length,
• kg ( kg) for mass (check out this weight conversion),
• Second ( s) for time,
• ampere (A) for electromagnetism.

Furthermore there are 22 derivative units that have individual names are available. They are divided into five categories:
