What is a link [li] unit?

A link (li) is a historic English surveying unit equal to 1/100 of Gunter’s chain or approximately 0.201168 meters, used primarily in 18th–19th century land measurement.

How many meters is one kiloyard [kyd]?

One kiloyard equals 1,000 yards, which is 914.4 meters based on the international yard definition.

Why convert links to kiloyards?

Converting links to kiloyards helps translate old survey data into large modern yard-based units better suited for engineering and infrastructure planning.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms length values from the historic English unit link [li] into the large-scale yard-based kiloyard [kyd]. It supports users working with old land measurements and modern infrastructure distances by providing a clear conversion between these two unique units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the length value measured in links [li].
Select the source unit as Link [li].
Choose the target unit as Kiloyard [kyd].
Execute the conversion to get the equivalent length in kiloyards.
Apply the result to your surveying or land measurement task.

Key Features

Converts historic surveying links (li) into kiloyards (kyd) for large distance representation.
Based on established conversion rate: 1 Link [li] = 0.00022 Kiloyard [kyd].
Supports understanding of old cadastral and land measurement data.
Browser-based tool that is easy to use without additional software.
Useful for engineering, surveying, and land-use planning.

Examples

10 Links [li] equals 0.0022 Kiloyard [kyd].
500 Links [li] converts to 0.11 Kiloyard [kyd].

Common Use Cases

Transforming historic survey lengths into modern large yard-based units.
Interpreting old land deeds and cadastral records for current use.
Reconstructing property boundaries from 18th–19th century measurements.
Calculating long distances in yards for engineering or infrastructure projects.
Integrating old survey data with contemporary measurement systems.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the conversion for historical or archival research rather than modern small-scale measurements.
Confirm that the input value is accurately recorded in links for reliable results.
Apply the tool when converting large lengths due to kiloyard being a large unit.
Be aware that this conversion approximates fixed yard values without local historical variations.
Use the output to communicate distances relevant for planning and engineering contexts.

Limitations

Link (li) is an obsolete unit primarily useful only in historical contexts.
Kiloyard (kyd), being a large-scale unit, may not be suitable for precise small distance conversions.
Conversion is approximate and does not account for historical variations in yard length across regions.
Modern applications rarely use link except for archival or reconstruction tasks.
