Calculation Info

The Terameter To Chain (Tm To Ch) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you convert measurements from terameters (Tm) to chains (Ch). This is useful in fields like astronomy, surveying, and engineering where different units of length are used.

A terameter (Tm) is a unit of length equal to one trillion meters. Its abbreviation is Tm, and it is part of the metric system. To understand the conversion, it’s helpful to know that 1 terameter = 1,000,000,000,000 meters.

A chain (Ch) is a traditional unit of length used mainly in surveying. One chain is equal to 66 feet, which is exactly 22 yards or approximately 20.1168 meters. The chain was historically used for land measurement and is still referenced in some contexts today.

To convert from terameters to chains, you can use the following formula:
Number of chains = (Number of terameters × 1,000,000,000,000 meters) ÷ 20.1168 meters per chain.

In simple terms, multiply the number of terameters by 1,000,000,000,000 to get meters, then divide by 20.1168 to get chains. This converter automates this calculation, making it quick and easy to switch between these units.
