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 Yard (yd) is often used in sports and fabric measurements. A football field is 100 yards long, a yardstick is 1 yard, and a swimming pool can be around 25 yards in length. It’s a common unit in the United States and the UK for measuring land and fabrics.
To convert between Chain (ch) and Yard (yd), use the following formulas:
1 Chain (ch) = 22 Yard (yd)
1 Yard (yd) = 0.04545454545454545 Chain (ch)
1 ch = 1 * 22 yd = 22 yd
5 ch = 5 * 22 yd = 110 yd
10 ch = 10 * 22 yd = 220 yd
20 ch = 20 * 22 yd = 440 yd
50 ch = 50 * 22 yd = 1100 yd
100 ch = 100 * 22 yd = 2200 yd
| Chain (ch) | Yard (yd) |
|---|---|
| 1 ch | 22 yd |
| 5 ch | 110 yd |
| 10 ch | 220 yd |
| 20 ch | 440 yd |
| 50 ch | 1100 yd |
| 100 ch | 2200 yd |
