Micron: Definition and Use
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
Centiinch: Definition and Use
A centiinch is a unit of length equal to one-hundredth of an inch.
History/Origin
The centiinch is not a standard unit of measurement but is a logical subdivision of the inch.
Current Use
The centiinch is rarely used.
