Furlong To Chain (fur to ch) Converter

Welcome to our Furlong to Chain (fur to ch) Converter! This tool helps you quickly and easily convert measurements from furlongs to chains. Both furlongs and chains are historical units of length, primarily used in the United Kingdom and some other Commonwealth countries, particularly in surveying and agriculture.

A furlong is a unit of length equal to 660 feet or 220 yards. It is traditionally defined as the length of a furrow in a ploughed field. The scientific symbol for furlong is  fur . A chain, on the other hand, is a unit of length equal to 66 feet or 22 yards. It was historically used as a standard measuring tool in surveying. The scientific symbol for chain is  ch .

To convert furlongs to chains, you need to understand the relationship between the two units. Since one furlong is equal to 660 feet and one chain is equal to 66 feet, a furlong is exactly 10 times longer than a chain. Therefore, to convert a measurement in furlongs to chains, you simply multiply the number of furlongs by 10. For example, if you have 5 furlongs, the equivalent in chains would be 5 * 10 = 50 chains. Our converter performs this calculation for you, providing a quick and accurate conversion.
