Convert micrometer to chain (US survey)
Please provide values below to convert micrometer [µm] to chain (US survey) [ch (US)], or Convert chain (US survey) to micrometer.
1 µm = 4.97095959595e-08 ch (US). To convert micrometer to chain (US survey), multiply the value by 4.97095959595e-08; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch (US) = 20116840.2337 µm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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 (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey chain is a unit of length equal to 66 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey chain is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey chain was used for land surveying in the United States.
