Units explained
Kiloyard
A kiloyard is an Imperial unit of length equal to 1,000 yards (914.4 m). It is rarely used in everyday measurement but appears in some technical and military contexts.
The kiloyard combines the metric-style prefix kilo- (Greek chilioi, thousand) with the yard. Standardised via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Kiloyards appear in some artillery and military range specifications, sport-shooting long-range competitions, and certain industrial applications. Less common than the mile for most distances.
Modern usage; standardised through the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Centiinch
A centiinch is an Imperial unit of length equal to one hundredth of an inch (2.54×10⁻⁴ m). It is functionally identical to the caliber as a length unit but appears in different industrial contexts.
Derived from the inch via the metric-style prefix centi- (Latin centum, hundred). Standardised through the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Centiinches occasionally appear in older engineering specifications and US-localised metric-pseudo notation. Most contemporary use prefers thousandths (mils) for sub-inch precision.
Standardised through the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement; rarely used in modern practice.
