Inch To Rod (In To Rd) Converter

The Inch To Rod (In To Rd) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you easily convert measurements from inches to rods. Both inches and rods are units used to measure length, especially in land surveying and construction.

An inch is a small unit of length commonly used in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system. One inch is equal to 1/12 of a foot or 1/36 of a yard. In decimal form, 1 inch equals approximately 0.0833 feet or 0.0278 meters.

A rod, also known as a pole or perch, is a larger unit of length traditionally used in land measurement. One rod is equal to 16.5 feet, 5.5 yards, or 1/4 of a chain. In meters, one rod is approximately 5.0292 meters.

To convert inches to rods, you can use the following formula:
Number of rods = Number of inches ÷ 792. This is because there are 792 inches in one rod (since 1 rod = 16.5 feet and 1 foot = 12 inches, so 16.5 × 12 = 198 inches, but note that the correct conversion factor is 1 rod = 198 inches, so the formula should be: Number of rods = Number of inches ÷ 198).

Therefore, the correct conversion formula is:
Number of rods = Number of inches ÷ 198. Simply input the number of inches into the converter, and it will calculate the equivalent length in rods for you.
