Furlong To Thou (Fur To Thou) Converter

The Furlong To Thou (Fur To Thou) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert measurements between furlongs and thou units. Whether you’re working on engineering, manufacturing, or just exploring measurement systems, this converter simplifies the process by providing quick and accurate results.

A furlong is a unit of length commonly used in horse racing and land measurement. One furlong equals 660 feet, or approximately 201.168 meters. It is often used to measure distances in racing tracks and land plots.

A thou, also known as a mil, is a very small unit of length used mainly in engineering and manufacturing. One thou equals one thousandth of an inch (0.001 inches). It is commonly used to specify very precise measurements, such as in machining and manufacturing tolerances.

To convert from furlongs to thou, you need to understand the relationship between these units. Since a furlong is measured in feet and a thou in inches, you’ll first convert furlongs to inches. Remember that 1 foot equals 12 inches, and 1 furlong equals 660 feet. Then, convert inches to thou by multiplying by 1000 (since 1 inch equals 1000 thou).

The basic formula to convert furlongs to thou is:

Thou = Furlongs × 660 feet per furlong × 12 inches per foot × 1000 thou per inch

Similarly, to convert from thou back to furlongs, you reverse the process:

Furlongs = Thou ÷ (660 × 12 × 1000)

This converter automates these calculations, so you can quickly switch between furlongs and thou units without doing the math manually. Simply input your value, select the conversion direction, and get your result instantly.
