Chain to Centimeter Converter

1 Chain = 0 Centimeter

Chain (ch) to Centimeter (cm) Conversion

The Chain (Gunter's chain) was fundamental in surveying the American frontier. Measuring 66 feet (4 rods), it's the length of a cricket pitch. Ten square chains make an acre. Modern surveyors still reference chains in legal descriptions, and the unit remains visible in rural road layouts across the US. The Centimeter (cm) is ideal for smaller measurements like the width of a smartphone (7-10 cm), the height of a coffee mug (10-12 cm), or the length of a pencil (15-20 cm). It's also used in crafts and construction.
