Dekameter To Chain (Dam To Ch) Converter

The Dekameter To Chain (Dam To Ch) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert measurements from dekameters (Dam) to chains (Ch). This is useful in fields like surveying, construction, and land measurement where different units are used to describe distances.

A dekameter (Dam) is a metric unit of length equal to 10 meters. It is part of the metric system and is commonly used for measuring larger distances. The formula to convert dekameters to meters is simple:
1 Dam = 10 meters.

A chain (Ch), also known as a survey chain, is an imperial unit of length used primarily in land surveying. One chain equals 66 feet or 22 yards, which is approximately 20.1168 meters. The conversion formula from chains to meters is:
1 Ch ? 20.1168 meters.

To convert from dekameters to chains, you first convert dekameters to meters, then meters to chains. The combined formula is:
Ch = (Dam × 10) / 20.1168. This allows you to quickly find the equivalent length in chains for any measurement in dekameters.
