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

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.
Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, 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 "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
