Conversion Definitions
m (meter): The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. The meter is widely used for measuring length and distance in science, engineering, and everyday life.
us (US survey foot): The US survey foot is a unit of length used in land surveying in the United States. It equals exactly 1200/3937 meters, which is approximately 0.3048006096 meters. It differs slightly from the international foot and remains important for certain mapping and cadastral purposes.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the US survey foot different from the international foot?
The US survey foot originates from an older measurement system tied to the yard defined in 1893, which was slightly different from the international foot standardized in 1959. The difference is very small, about 2 parts per million, but it matters in precise surveying and mapping in the US.
Can I use the same conversion factor for all meter to foot conversions?
Not always, because there are two common foot definitions: the international foot and the US survey foot. For general use, the international foot is standard, but for US land surveying, the survey foot is used. Using the wrong factor can cause small but important errors in some projects.
How precise is converting 2019 meters to US survey feet?
The conversion is precise to many decimal places given the fixed conversion factor. However, practical measurements may have errors due to instrument precision or environmental factors. The factor ensures mathematical accuracy but physical accuracy depends on measurement conditions.
Is there a simple way to approximate meters to US feet without a calculator?
You can approximate by multiplying meters by 3.28 to get a rough number of US feet. This is close but slightly less accurate than using 3.280833333. For rough estimates, this may be enough, but for precise work, use the exact conversion factor.
Why does converting to US survey feet sometimes cause confusion?
Because the US survey foot differs subtly from the international foot, using the term “foot” without specifying which can cause confusion. Surveyors and engineers must specify which foot is meant to avoid discrepancies in distance measurements and legal property boundaries.
