What is a Link (li) unit?

A Link is a historic English length unit used mainly in 18th–19th century surveying, equal to 1/100 of Gunter's chain or approximately 0.201168 meters.

What does Micron (µ) represent?

A Micron, or micrometer, is one millionth of a meter used to measure microscopic dimensions such as particles, cells, and thin films.

Why convert Links to Microns?

Converting Links to Microns helps interpret historic land measurements in modern scientific units and supports microscopic scale analysis of length data.
