How to convert rods to microinches
1 rod is equal to 198,000,000 microinches, and 1 microinch is equal to 5.050505051 × 10⁻⁹ rods. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
microinches = rods × 198,000,000
microinches = rods ÷ 5.050505051 × 10⁻⁹Example: convert 1 rd to µin: 1 × 198,000,000 = 198,000,000 µin.

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.
