Formula

To execute this calculation, the value in Zhang (Chinese) is first normalized to the base Length unit (Meter) before being scaled to Thou (Mil). The direct multiplier for Zhang (Chinese) to Thou (Mil) is determined by the ratio of their scientific definitions.

Examples

For instance, 1 丈 is strictly defined as roughly 131102.3622047244 thou. If you are dealing with a larger scale, such as 50 丈, the resulting thou value maintains this exact linear proportionality.

Reverse Formula

The inverse conversion (Thou (Mil) back to Zhang (Chinese)) is equally valid and uses the reciprocal of the primary ratio. Our interface allows you to toggle this direction instantly to verify both sides of the Length equation.

Common Mistakes

The most frequent error in 丈 to thou calculations is the misapplication of unit prefixes (like centi- or milli-). Additionally, confusing Zhang (Chinese) with similar units in different systems (like US vs. Imperial) can lead to significant discrepancies.
