Chain (ch) to Inch (in) 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 Inch (in) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring small to medium objects. For example, a smartphone screen is around 6 inches, a standard ruler is 12 inches, and a doorway height is about 80 inches. It's widely used in carpentry, display sizes, and construction.
