New conversion factors for the rod and furlong as 16.5 international feet and 660 international feet respectively have been published by NIST.

[72] If it did, its hypothetical values would be as follows: 3937 survey yards = 3600 meters [69] 1 survey yard ≈ 0.914 401 83 meters [69]
By default, the output value is rounded to adjust its precision to match that of the input. An input such as 1234 is interpreted as 1234 ± 0.5, while 1200 is interpreted as 1200 ± 50, and the output value is displayed accordingly, taking into account the scale factor used in the conversion.
