Convert rod to micron
Please provide values below to convert rod [rd] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to rod.
1 rd = 5029200 µ. To convert rod to micron, multiply the value by 5029200; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 1.98838781516e-07 rd). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 rd = 5029200 µ
- 1 µ = 1.98838781516e-07 rd
- 10 rd = 50292000 µ

Rod
A rod, also known as a perch or pole, is a unit of length equal to 16.5 feet, or 5.5 yards.
History/Origin
The rod has been used as a unit of measurement in England since at least the 13th century. It was a convenient length for measuring land.
Current Use
The rod is now an archaic unit of measurement, though it may still be encountered in old land deeds.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
