What is the conversion rate from link (US survey) to foot (US survey)?

One link (US survey) equals 0.66 foot (US survey).

Why is the link (US survey) important in land surveying?

It serves as a small subdivision used historically for measuring linear distances in US land survey plats and cadastral records.

Can I use this conversion for modern engineering projects?

Yes, especially when projects need to reconcile modern data with older survey records.
