How to convert microns to rods
1 micron is equal to 1.988387815 × 10⁻⁷ rods, and 1 rod is equal to 5,029,200 microns. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
rods = microns × 1.988387815 × 10⁻⁷
rods = microns ÷ 5,029,200Example: convert 1 µ to rd: 1 × 1.988387815 × 10⁻⁷ = 1.988387815 × 10⁻⁷ rd.

About the micron
The micron is the older name for the micrometer (one millionth of a meter). It's still common in filtration, semiconductor manufacturing and particle sizes.
Symbol: µ · 1 µ = 0.000001 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the rod
The rod is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), or a quarter of a chain. It was used in land surveying and is still used to measure canoe portages.
Symbol: rd · 1 rd = 5.0292 m · Category: Imperial & US customary
