Chain to Kilometer Converter

1 Chain = 0 Kilometer

Chain (ch) to Kilometer (km) 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 Kilometer (km) is used for longer distances like city-to-city travel (e.g., 50 km), marathon races (42.195 km), or highway spans (e.g., 100 km). It's also used in aviation and sports like cycling.
