Convert chain to microinch
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to microinch [µin], or Convert microinch to chain.
1 ch = 792000000 µin. To convert chain to microinch, multiply the value by 792000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µin = 1.26262626263e-09 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 = 792000000 µin
- 1 µin = 1.26262626263e-09 ch
- 10 ch = 7920000000 µin
- 100 ch = 79200000000 µin
How to Convert Chain to Microinch
1 ch = 792000000 µin
Example: convert 15 ch to µin:
15 ch = 15 × 792000000 µin = 11880000000 µin

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.
Microinch
A microinch is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of an inch.
History/Origin
The microinch is a unit used for extremely small measurements in precision engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The microinch is used in fields like mechanical engineering and electronics to measure surface roughness and tolerances.
