What is a Link (US survey) unit?

It is a historic US land surveying length equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain, approximately 0.66 US feet or 0.201168 meters.

Is 'rope' a standardized measurement?

'Rope' is an informal descriptor for length and not standardized; actual lengths vary depending on context.

Why convert from Link to rope?

To translate precise legacy survey units into approximate rope lengths useful in everyday, nautical, or retail contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to approximate legacy survey units into rope lengths for practical, non-scientific tasks.
Remember that 'rope' is informal; for precise engineering, revert to standardized units like metres or feet.
Verify historic survey data carefully due to possible differences from modern measurement standards.

Limitations

The 'rope' unit is informal and varies based on context, so conversions are approximate.
Precision is limited compared to standardized length units, so it's unsuitable for detailed scientific work.
Historic units like Link (US survey) may require careful interpretation when relating to modern measurements.
