Hectometer To Chain (Hm To Ch) Converter

The Hectometer To Chain (Hm To Ch) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you easily convert measurements from hectometers to chains. This is useful in fields like surveying, construction, and other areas where different units of length are used.

A hectometer (Hm) is a metric unit of length equal to 100 meters. It is commonly used for measuring longer distances in the metric system. One hectometer is equivalent to 100 meters, or approximately 328.08 feet.

A chain (Ch), on the other hand, is an imperial unit of length traditionally used in land measurement. One chain is equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards, which is approximately 20.1168 meters.

To convert from hectometers to chains, you can use the following formula:
Number of chains = Number of hectometers × (100 meters per hectometer) ÷ (66 feet per chain in meters)

Since 1 chain equals approximately 20.1168 meters, the simplified conversion formula becomes:
Ch = Hm × 100 ÷ 20.1168

This tool automates this calculation, allowing you to input a value in hectometers and instantly get the equivalent length in chains, making your measurements quick and accurate. Whether you’re working on land surveys or other projects, this converter simplifies unit conversions between the metric and imperial systems.
