Convert chain to micron
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to chain.
1 ch = 20116800 µ. To convert chain to micron, multiply the value by 20116800; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 4.9709695379e-08 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 = 20116800 µ
- 1 µ = 4.9709695379e-08 ch
- 10 ch = 201168000 µ
- 100 ch = 2011680000 µ
How to Convert Chain to Micron
1 ch = 20116800 µ
Example: convert 15 ch to µ:
15 ch = 15 × 20116800 µ = 301752000 µ

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.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
