Convert petameter to chain
Please provide values below to convert petameter [Pm] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to petameter.
1 Pm = 4.9710e+13 ch. To convert petameter to chain, multiply the value by 4.9710e+13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 2.0117e-14 Pm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Pm = 4.9710e+13 ch
- 1 ch = 2.0117e-14 Pm
- 10 Pm = 4.9710e+14 ch
- 100 Pm = 4.9710e+15 ch
How to Convert Petameter to Chain
1 Pm = 49709695378986.7 ch
Example: convert 15 Pm to ch:
15 Pm = 15 × 49709695378986.7 ch = 745645430684801 ch

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.
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.
