Convert chain to petameter
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to petameter [Pm], or Convert petameter to chain.
1 ch = 2.0117e-14 Pm. To convert chain to petameter, multiply the value by 2.0117e-14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pm = 4.9710e+13 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-14 Pm
- 1 Pm = 4.9710e+13 ch
- 10 ch = 2.0117e-13 Pm
- 100 ch = 2.0117e-12 Pm
How to Convert Chain to Petameter
1 ch = 2.01168e-14 Pm
Example: convert 15 ch to Pm:
15 ch = 15 × 2.01168e-14 Pm = 3.01752e-13 Pm

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.
Petameter
A petameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^15 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "peta-" for 10^15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The petameter is used for measuring distances on a galactic scale, such as the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
