Unit Information

Caliber
/ˈkalɪbə/
Symbol: cl
Unit System: Imperial

What is the Caliber?

The caliber is a unit of length based on the inch (imperial units) and uses the symbol cl.

It represents the internal diameter of a gun barrel and therefore more often than not, the size of the ammunition or round that gun requires to fire.

It is not always represented or converted exactly in inches so a table or "well-known" conversions are often used to depict measurements / ammo types instead.

Rod
/rɒd/
Symbol: rod
Unit System: Imperial

What is the Rod?

The rod is a unit of length in the imperial and US sytem and uses the symbol rod.

A rod (or perch, pole, lug) is equal to 16.5 feet or 5.5 yards.

It is a building surveyor's tool for measuring distance and is particularly useful as multiples of this unit can make up an exact acre. A perfect acre is a rectangle with edges 660 feet and 66 feet - which is 40 rods by 4 rods; i.e. 1 acre = 160 square rods.
