Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (arms-length) An Arms length is standardized as a unit of distance equal to approximately 70 centimeters, or 28 inches. An arms length is the same as the modern Italian Braccio and very similar to the Turkish Pik. Unit Definition (palmo [Texas]) The palmo is a traditional unit of distance in Spain and Portugal. The traditional Spanish palmo equals 9 pulgadas or 1/4 vara. In Texas, 1/4 vara comes to 8 1/3 inches (21.17 centimeters). These units are based on the width of a person's outstretched hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, a definition identical to that of the English span.
