Fathom To Chain (Fth To Ch) Converter

The Fathom To Chain (Fth To Ch) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert measurements from fathoms to chains. Both units are used primarily in measuring lengths, especially in maritime and land surveying contexts. Understanding these units and how to convert between them can be useful for various navigation and measurement tasks.

A fathom (abbreviated as “Fth”) is a unit of length commonly used to measure the depth of water. One fathom equals 6 feet, which is approximately 1.8288 meters. The formula to convert fathoms to feet is:
Fathoms × 6 = Feet.

A chain (abbreviated as “Ch”) is a unit of length historically used in land surveying. One chain equals 66 feet or 22 yards. To convert fathoms to chains, first convert fathoms to feet, then divide by 66 (the number of feet in a chain). The formula is:
Fathoms × 6 ÷ 66 = Chains.

Using this converter, you simply input the number of fathoms, and it will automatically calculate the equivalent length in chains. This makes it easy for beginners to perform accurate conversions without needing to memorize complex formulas. Whether you’re working on navigation, surveying, or educational projects, this tool simplifies the process of converting between these two units of length.
