Furlong To Rod (Fur To Rd) Converter

The Furlong To Rod (Fur To Rd) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you convert measurements from furlongs to rods. Both furlongs and rods are units of length commonly used in land measurement, especially in the UK and the US.

A furlong is a unit of distance equal to 1/8 of a mile, which is approximately 201.168 meters or 660 feet. It is often used in horse racing and land surveying. A rod, also known as a pole or perch, is a smaller unit of length equal to 1/16 of a furlong, approximately 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet.

The conversion formula from furlongs to rods is straightforward: multiply the number of furlongs by 16, since there are 16 rods in one furlong. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Number of rods = Number of furlongs × 16

Using this tool, you simply input the number of furlongs you want to convert, and it will automatically calculate the equivalent length in rods. This makes it easy for anyone needing quick and accurate conversions for land measurement or other purposes.
