Calculation Info

The Centimeter To Chain (Cm To Ch) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert measurements from centimeters to chains. This is useful in various fields such as surveying, land measurement, and construction where different units are used for measuring lengths.

First, let’s understand the units involved. A centimeter (cm) is a metric unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter. It is commonly used for measuring small objects or distances. A chain (ch), on the other hand, is an imperial unit of length primarily used in land measurement. One chain is equal to 66 feet or 22 yards.

The conversion formula from centimeters to chains is based on their respective lengths. Since 1 foot equals 30.48 centimeters, and 1 chain equals 66 feet, we can derive the conversion factor. Specifically, 1 chain equals 66 x 30.48 = 2011.68 centimeters.

Therefore, to convert centimeters to chains, you divide the length in centimeters by 2011.68. The formula is:
Ch = Cm / 2011.68

Using this converter, you simply input the measurement in centimeters, and it will automatically calculate the equivalent length in chains, making your measurements quick and accurate.
