What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms length values from the historic US survey link, a subdivision of Gunter's chain used mainly in US land surveying, into centimeters, the metric unit commonly used for small distances.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the length value in link (US survey) units into the input field
  • Choose link (US survey) as the input unit and centimeter as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent length in centimeters

Key Features

  • Converts link (US survey) units to centimeters accurately based on established definitions
  • Supports interpretation of old land survey plats and cadastral records
  • Browser-based and user-friendly without the need for additional software

Examples

  • 5 Links (US survey) equals approximately 100.584 centimeters
  • 10 Links (US survey) equals approximately 201.168 centimeters

Common Use Cases

  • Translating distances from historic US land survey plats into metric units
  • Cadastral mapping and boundary descriptions involving legacy survey data
  • Reconciling older survey records with modern land-transfer or civil engineering projects

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check measurements when converting from legacy sources to ensure accuracy
  • Use this tool primarily for interpreting historic records rather than modern surveying
  • Be aware of unit differences when working with survey feet and international feet

Limitations

  • The link (US survey) is a region-specific, historical unit mostly relevant to US legacy data
  • Conversion precision can be affected by rounding and foot definition variations
  • Modern measurements typically use metric or standardized units, limiting widespread use

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a link (US survey) unit?
It is a historic length measurement equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain or approximately 0.201168 meters, used mainly in US land surveying.

Why convert from link (US survey) to centimeters?
Converting helps interpret historic US land survey data in modern metric units for accurate mapping and legal land descriptions.

Can I use this converter for modern measurements?
The converter is intended for legacy data, as modern surveying usually employs metric or standardized units.

Key Terminology
