Thou To Furlong (Thou To Fur) Converter

The Thou To Furlong (Thou To Fur) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you convert measurements from thou (also known as mil) to furlongs. This is useful in fields like engineering, manufacturing, or any area where precise measurements are needed over different units of length.

A thou is a unit of length equal to one thousandth of an inch. It is commonly used in manufacturing and engineering to specify small dimensions. In decimal form, 1 thou = 0.001 inches.

A furlong is a unit of distance primarily used in horse racing and land measurement. One furlong equals 660 feet or 220 yards. In metric terms, 1 furlong is approximately 201.168 meters.

To convert from thou to furlongs, you need to understand the relationship between these units. Since 1 inch equals 1000 thou, and 1 furlong equals 660 feet, you can use the following formula:

Conversion Formula:
furlongs = (thou / 1000) inches ÷ (660 feet × 12 inches/foot)

Breaking it down further, the simplified formula is:

furlongs = (thou / 1000) / (7920)

where 7920 is the total number of inches in a furlong (660 feet × 12 inches). Using this formula, you can easily convert any measurement in thou to furlongs with a calculator or this tool.
