Convert chain to attometer
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to attometer [am], or Convert attometer to chain.
1 ch = 2.0117e+19 am. To convert chain to attometer, multiply the value by 2.0117e+19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 4.9710e-20 ch). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ch = 2.0117e+19 am
- 1 am = 4.9710e-20 ch
- 10 ch = 2.0117e+20 am
- 100 ch = 2.0117e+21 am
How to Convert Chain to Attometer
1 ch = 2.01168e+19 am
Example: convert 15 ch to am:
15 ch = 15 × 2.01168e+19 am = 3.01752e+20 am

Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
