What is Chain (ch)

Chain (ch) is a unit of length used in surveying and measuring land. 1 chain is equal to 100 links.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between link and chain is:

1(li)=0.01(ch)

1(ch)=100(li)

Other conversions include:

4(li)=0.04(ch)

4(ch)=400(li)

5(li)=0.05(ch)

5(ch)=500(li)

14(li)=0.14(ch)

14(ch)=1400(li)

Examples

1. Convert 8 links to chains:

8(li)×0.01=0.08(ch)

2. Convert 250 chains to links:

250(ch)×100=25000(li)

3. Convert 20 links to chains using the other conversion formula:

20(li)×0.05=1(ch)
