Convert fermi to chain
Please provide values below to convert fermi [F, f] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to fermi.
1 F, f = 4.9710e-17 ch. To convert fermi to chain, multiply the value by 4.9710e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 2.0117e+16 F, f). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 F, f = 4.9710e-17 ch
- 1 ch = 2.0117e+16 F, f
- 10 F, f = 4.9710e-16 ch
- 100 F, f = 4.9710e-15 ch
How to Convert Fermi to Chain
1 F, f = 4.97096953789867e-17 ch
Example: convert 15 F, f to ch:
15 F, f = 15 × 4.97096953789867e-17 ch = 7.45645430684801e-16 ch

Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
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.
