Convert micrometer to chain
Please provide values below to convert micrometer [µm] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to micrometer.
1 µm = 4.9709695379e-08 ch. To convert micrometer to chain, multiply the value by 4.9709695379e-08; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 20116800 µm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µm = 4.9709695379e-08 ch
- 1 ch = 20116800 µm
- 10 µm = 4.9709695379e-07 ch
- 100 µm = 4.9709695379e-06 ch
How to Convert Micrometer to Chain
1 µm = 4.97096953789867e-08 ch
Example: convert 15 µm to ch:
15 µm = 15 × 4.97096953789867e-08 ch = 7.45645430684801e-07 ch

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.
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.
