What is Chains?

Chains (ch) is a unit of length. A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet or exactly 20.1168 meters. It was historically used in land surveying and equals 100 links. The chain is defined as 66 feet to maintain consistency with imperial measurements and is standardized for surveying purposes [nist-si-guide]. The chain was introduced by Edmund Gunter in 1620 to simplify land measurement and surveying. Adopted widely in English-speaking countries, it facilitated mapping and land division before metric units became prevalent [nist-si-guide]. Chains are primarily used in surveying and real estate in the United States, Canada, and parts of Australia. Although largely replaced by metric units globally, chains remain a legal unit in some jurisdictions for land records [nist-si-guide].

What is Feet?

Feet (ft) is a unit of length. A foot is a unit of length defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. It consists of 12 inches and is commonly used in the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar for height, distance, and construction measurements. The foot remains part of the imperial and U.S. customary systems standardized internationally [nist-si-guide]. The foot originated from various historical measurements based on the length of a human foot. It was standardized by the international yard and pound agreement in 1959, fixing the foot at exactly 0.3048 meters [nist-si-guide]. Feet are widely used in the U.S. for building construction, aviation altitudes, and everyday height measurements. Despite global metrication, feet remain common in real estate, sports, and engineering within certain countries [nist-si-guide].
