History

Micrometer (μm)

The micrometer, symbolized as μm, is a metric unit representing one millionth of a meter. Introduced in the 19th century, it is essential for precision measurements in science and engineering. Micrometers are widely used in fields such as materials science, electronics, and biology to measure objects ranging from cells to microchips and mechanical components. Its small scale makes it ideal for describing dimensions invisible to the naked eye, bridging the gap between millimeters and nanometers. The unit has become a standard in laboratories and manufacturing, enabling high accuracy and international standardization.

Yard (yd)

The yard, abbreviated as yd, is a unit of length in both the imperial and US customary systems, equal to 3 feet or 0.9144 meters. Its origins lie in England, where its definition sometimes depended on the length of a king’s arm or the span of a stride. In the 20th century, the yard was formally standardized to ensure consistency in trade and science. Today, the yard is mainly used in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring areas like sports fields, distances in games such as football and golf, and in the textile industry. Although metric units have become more widespread worldwide, the yard is still important in sports, construction, and some traditional applications.
