The Rod (or pole/perch) was historically used in land surveying and agriculture. Measuring exactly 16.5 feet, rods were commonly used to define property boundaries. A standard American football field is 320 rods long (including end zones). This unit still appears in some property deeds and agricultural measurements. Micrometers (µm) measure cells (human cell = ~10–30 µm), bacteria (1–5 µm), and microelectronics. Pollen grains are ~15–100 µm wide.
To convert between Rod (rd) and Micrometer (µm), use the following formulas:
1 Rod (rd) = 5029200.000000001 Micrometer (µm)
1 Micrometer (µm) = 1.9883878151594685e-7 Rod (rd)
1 rd = 1 * 5029200.000000001 µm = 5029200.000000001 µm
2 rd = 2 * 5029200.000000001 µm = 10058400.000000002 µm
5 rd = 5 * 5029200.000000001 µm = 25146000.000000004 µm
10 rd = 10 * 5029200.000000001 µm = 50292000.00000001 µm
20 rd = 20 * 5029200.000000001 µm = 100584000.00000001 µm
50 rd = 50 * 5029200.000000001 µm = 251460000.00000006 µm
