Span (cloth)
A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.
The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.
Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.
Millimeters
A millimeter (mm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One millimeter is equivalent to 0.001 meters or approximately 0.03937 inches.
The millimeter is defined as one-thousandth of a meter, making it a precise measurement for small distances.
Millimeters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including engineering, manufacturing, and everyday life. Many industries, especially those requiring high precision, have adopted the millimeter as a standard unit of measurement for small lengths.
