What Is This Tool?

This tool enables conversion between the UK nautical mile (NM UK), a traditional maritime distance unit, and the US survey chain, a unit historically used in American land surveying.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in nautical mile (UK) units that you want to convert.
  • Select the target unit as chain (US survey).
  • Review the converted value to assist with your historical or surveying research.

Key Features

  • Converts length from nautical mile (UK) to chain (US survey) with a precise conversion rate.
  • Useful for interpreting historical maritime and land surveying documents.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for reconciling UK and US legacy measurements.

Examples

  • 1 NM (UK) converts to 92.1210278788 ch
  • 2 NM (UK) converts to 184.2420557576 ch

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting distances on historical UK Admiralty charts and navigation records.
  • Converting legacy maritime or land surveying data to modern units for GIS mapping.
  • Analyzing and comparing older navigation instruments or cadastral surveys involving UK and US systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure units selected match the historical context of your data for accurate interpretation.
  • Use the tool to help reconcile measurements from different legacy systems in research or legal work.
  • Double check conversions when working with approximate or rounded historical values.

Limitations

  • Slight differences between UK nautical mile and international nautical mile definitions may affect results.
  • The US survey chain unit is largely outdated and replaced by metric measurements.
  • Historical documents may contain rounded or approximate values, limiting exact conversion precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a nautical mile (UK)?
The UK nautical mile, historically known as the Admiralty nautical mile, is exactly 6,080 feet or 1,853.184 metres, slightly longer than the international nautical mile.

What is a chain (US survey)?
The US survey chain is a length unit equal to 66 US survey feet, traditionally used for land surveying and subdivided into 100 links.

Why convert between NM (UK) and US survey chain?
Converting between these units helps interpret historical documents and geographic data that use different traditional measurement standards from the UK and US.

Key Terminology

Nautical mile (UK) [NM (UK)]
A maritime unit equal to exactly 6,080 feet or 1,853.184 metres, used in historical UK navigation.
Chain (US survey) [ch]
A traditional US surveying length unit measuring 66 US survey feet, used in cadastral and land boundary surveys.
Conversion Rate
The factor used for calculating equivalent length from one unit to another; here, 1 NM (UK) equals 92.1210278788 ch.
