<\/p>\nIn civil engineering projects in Japan, the units commonly used are \u339c (millimeters), \u339d (centimeters), and \uff4d (meters).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The choice of unit depends on the situation and the distance being measured. For long distances, the unit \u201cm\u201d is used; for medium distances, \u201ccm\u201d is used; and for small objects, \u201cmm\u201d is used.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cA \u201dtape measure\u201c (makijaku) is a measuring tool, similar to a roll-up measuring tape, used to measure long distances. When using it, the unit of measurement is typically \u201dm.\u201d.<\/p>\n
If you use \"mm\" or \"cm\" when wearing a makijaku, it could lead to errors or confusion.<\/p>\n
In our work in the field of slope construction (norimen k\u014dji), when measuring the area, we use a measuring tape, and the unit of measurement is \u201cm.\u201d.<\/p>\n
For example, if the length is 10.53 m, then in centimeters it is 1053 cm, and in millimeters it is 10530 mm.<\/p>\n
The larger the number, the harder it is to read or understand. If it\u2019s more than 10 m, it becomes 10,000 mm\u2014that\u2019s hard to grasp, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
Therefore, for measuring long distances, it is best to use \u201cm.\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cThe \u201dconvex rule,\u201d also known as a roll-up tape measure, is used to measure distances of less than 6 meters.<\/p>\n
In this situation, many people use \u201cm\u201d or \u201ccm\u201d as their unit of measurement, depending on their habits. Of course, this tool can also measure in mm.<\/p>\n
You can use whichever units you find easiest to understand, but it would be better if you could understand and convert all units quickly.<\/p>\n
![\"Calipers\"](\"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/17e7f438c07e1bf49d9c531f3e452c22.avif\")
<\/p>\n
For the \u201cvernier caliper,\u201d the unit \u201cmm\u201d is almost always used. It is very rare for people to use the unit \u201cm\u201d when using this tool.<\/p>\n
When measuring small objects, the unit \u201cmm\u201d is easier to understand and more accurate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Please make sure to memorize this unit conversion table well. For example, 1 cm = 0.01 m, and 1 cm = 10 mm.<\/p>\n
If you're having trouble understanding this table, try looking at a ruler while checking the table\u2014you'll get the hang of it quickly.<\/p>\n
Try counting the divisions on the ruler one by one to help you understand ^^<\/p>\n
Measuring things is very important. Especially in the construction industry, like the work we do, it\u2019s an essential skill!<\/p>\n
We need to measure the size of the object accurately. Make sure you understand this 100%!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
