What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert lengths from foot (ft), a common unit in imperial and U.S. customary systems, to chain (US survey) (ch), a traditional surveying unit historically used in U.S. land measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the length value in feet (ft) you want to convert.
  • Select foot (ft) as the starting unit and chain (US survey) (ch) as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent length in chains.
  • Use the provided examples as a guide to confirm your conversions.

Key Features

  • Supports conversion between foot and chain (US survey) units.
  • Provides clear unit definitions and historical context.
  • Includes practical examples for straightforward conversions.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for surveyors, engineers, and property professionals.

Examples

  • Convert 10 ft to chain (US survey): 10 × 0.0151514848 = 0.151514848 ch.
  • Convert 100 ft to chain (US survey): 100 × 0.0151514848 = 1.51514848 ch.

Common Use Cases

  • Reconciling current measurements with historical U.S. land survey records and cadastral data.
  • Converting legacy survey data to modern measurement units for mapping and GIS applications.
  • Describing linear distances in rural property boundary and right-of-way surveys.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Be aware that the US survey foot differs slightly from the international foot, important in precise surveys.
  • Use this conversion carefully when interpreting historical land documents to maintain accuracy.
  • Verify that conversions follow local measurement standards and historical contexts.

Limitations

  • US survey foot and international foot are not identical, affecting precision.
  • Chain (US survey) is a legacy unit that may be unfamiliar to many modern users.
  • Conversions require respecting local standards and historical measurement contexts to prevent errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the foot (ft) unit used for?
The foot is a length unit used in imperial and U.S. customary systems for everyday measurements, construction, aviation altitudes, and topographic elevations.

What is the chain (US survey) unit?
The chain (US survey) is a traditional length unit equal to 66 US survey feet, historically used in U.S. land surveying and cadastral work.

Why convert foot to chain (US survey)?
Conversion helps reconcile modern lengths with historical land survey records and improves accuracy in mapping and property boundary descriptions.

Key Terminology
