Conversion Formula for Chain to Link
The formula of conversion of Chain to Link is very simple. To convert Chain to Link, we can use this simple formula:
1 Chain = 100 Link
1 Link = 0.01 Chain
One Chain is equal to 100 Link. So, we need to multiply the number of Chain by 100 to get the no of Link. This formula helps when we need to change the measurements from Chain to Link
Chain to Link Conversion
The conversion of unit Chain to unit Chain is very simple. Since, as discussed above, One Chain is equal to 100 Link. So, to convert Chain to Link, we must multiply no of Chain to 100. Example:-
| Chain | Link |
|---|---|
| 0.01 Chain | 1 Link |
| 0.1 Chain | 10 Link |
| 1 Chain | 100 Link |
| 2 Chain | 200 Link |
| 3 Chain | 300 Link |
| 5 Chain | 500 Link |
| 10 Chain | 1,000 Link |
| 20 Chain | 2,000 Link |
| 50 Chain | 5,000 Link |
| 100 Chain | 10,000 Link |
| 500 Chain | 50,000 Link |
| 1,000 Chain | 100,000 Link |
Details for Chain (Survey Measurement)
Introduction : The chain equals 66 feet or 4 rods, developed as a practical surveying tool that could be physically carried across terrain. This unit remains surprisingly relevant in modern surveying and certain transportation systems due to its historical entrenchment.
History & Origin : Invented by English mathematician Edmund Gunter in 1620 as a physical chain of 100 links. Became fundamental to the rectangular survey system that mapped much of North America. The length was ideally suited for field measurement.
Current Use : Still used in US/UK railway surveys and property boundaries. A mile equals 80 chains, explaining why US railroad mileposts are 1 chain apart. Appears in some agricultural land measurements and mining claims.
Details for Link (Survey Measurement)
Introduction : The link equals 1/100 of a surveyor's chain or 7.92 inches, serving as a precise subdivision for land measurement. This small unit allowed surveyors to record property boundaries with greater accuracy than whole chains alone.
History & Origin : Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620 as part of his measuring chain system. Each 66-foot chain contained 100 links. The system became fundamental to English and later American land surveys, particularly the US Public Land Survey System.
Current Use : Still appears in historical property descriptions and survey monuments. Used to retrace original land surveys where measurements were recorded in chains and links. 1 acre equals 10 square chains or 100,000 square links.

What is the Symbol of Chain and Link?
The symbol for Chain is 'ch', and for Links, it is 'li'. These symbols are used to denote length in everyday and technical measurements.
How to convert Chain(s) to Link(es)?
To convert Chain(s) to Link(es), multiply the number of Chains by 100 because one Chain equals 100 Links.
Formula: Links = Chains × 100.
This is a standard rule used in length conversions.
How to convert Link(es) to Chain(s) ?
To convert Link(es) to Chain(s), divide the number of Links by 100, since, 1 Chain contains exactly 100 Link(es).
Formula: Chains = Link(s) ÷ 100.
It’s a common calculation in length conversions.
How many Chain(s) are these in an Link(es) ?
There are 0.01 Chains in one Link. This is derived by dividing 1 Link by 100, as 1 Chain equals 100 Link(s).
Formula: Chain = Links ÷ 100.
It’s a precise unit conversion method.
How many Link(es) are these in an Chain(s) ?
There are exactly 100 Links in one Chain. This is a fixed value used in the measurement system.
Formula: Link(s) = Chains × 100.
It's one of the most basic conversions.
How many Link in 10 Chain?
There are 1000 Links in 10 Chains. This is calculated by multiplying 10 by 100.
Formula: 10 Chains × 100 = 1000 Links.
This conversion is helpful for length measurements.
How many Link(s) in 50 Chain?
There are 5000 Links in 50 Chains. One can calculate it by multiplying 50 by 100.
Formula: 50 Chains × 100 = 5000 Links.
This conversion is used in many applications.
How many Link(s) in 100 Chain?
There are 10000 Link(s) in 100 Chains. Multiply 100 by 100 to get the result.
Formula: 100 Chains × 100 = 10000 Link(s).
This is a basic unit conversion formula.
