Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (braccio [Italy]) The Braccio is a traditional Italian measurement of length. The word means "arm", and a Braccio is approximately equal to the length of a man's arm, about 27 or 28 inches (68-71 centimeters). In modern times, the Braccio has become an informal metric unit of exactly 70 centimeters (about 27.56 inches), which is the same as the Arm Length unit. Unit Definition (furlong [survey]) A furlong is a measure of distance within Imperial units and U.S. customary units. Although its definition has varied historically, in modern terms it equals 660 feet or 220 yards, and is therefore equal to 201.168 metres. There are ten chains in a furlong and eight furlongs in a mile. The name "furlong" derives from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long).
