Microinches

A microinch is a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. The prefix micro- indicates one millionth of an inch. Therefore, one microinch is equal to one millionth of an inch. Microinches are often used in precision measurements, particularly in industries where extremely fine tolerances are crucial, such as manufacturing and engineering. Measurements in microinches are much smaller than those in inches or even thousandths of an inch, allowing for a higher level of precision when specifying dimensions for very small components or surfaces.

Chains

A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet or 22 yards. It has historical significance and was widely used in the past for measuring large plots of land, especially in agriculture and real estate. The chain was often employed alongside other traditional units of length, such as rods and links. The use of chains has diminished in modern times, replaced by the metric system or other standard units of measurement. However, in some historical contexts or when dealing with older land survey records, you may still encounter references to measurements in chains.
