Conversion Formula for Link to Chain
The formula of conversion of Link to Chain is very simple. To convert Link to Chain, we can use this simple formula:
1 Link = 0.01 Chain
1 Chain = 100 Link
One Link is equal to 0.01 Chain. So, we need to multiply the number of Link by 0.01 to get the no of Chain. This formula helps when we need to change the measurements from Link to Chain
Link to Chain Conversion
The conversion of unit Link to unit Chain is very simple. Since, as discussed above, One Link is equal to 0.01 Chain. So, to convert Link to Chain, we must multiply no of Link to 0.01. Example:-
| Link | Chain |
|---|---|
| 0.01 Link | 0.0001 Chain |
| 0.1 Link | 0.001 Chain |
| 1 Link | 0.01 Chain |
| 2 Link | 0.02 Chain |
| 3 Link | 0.03 Chain |
| 5 Link | 0.05 Chain |
| 10 Link | 0.1 Chain |
| 20 Link | 0.2 Chain |
| 50 Link | 0.5 Chain |
| 100 Link | 1 Chain |
| 500 Link | 5 Chain |
| 1,000 Link | 10 Chain |
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.
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.

FAQ on link to chain Conversion:
What is the Symbol of link and chain?
The symbol for link is 'li', and for chains, it is 'ch'. These symbols are used to denote length in everyday and technical measurements.
How to convert link to chain?
To convert link to chain, multiply the number of links by 0.01 because one link equals 0.01 chains.
Formula: Number of chains = Number of links × 0.01.
This is a standard rule used in length conversions.
How to convert chain to link?
To convert chains to links, multiply the number of chains by 100, as 1 chain contains exactly 100 links.
Formula: Number of links = Number of chains * 100.
It’s a common calculation in length conversions.
How many chains are in one link?
There are 0.01 chains in one link. Therefore, to convert 1 link into chains, multiply 1 by 0.01. This gives a result of 0.01 chains.
Formula: Number of chains = Number of links × 0.01.
Thus, Number of chains = 1 links × 0.01 = 0.01 chains.
How many chains in 10 links?
There are 0.01 chains in one link. Therefore, to convert 10 links into chains, multiply 10 by 0.01. This gives a result of 0.1 chain.
Formula: Number of chains = Number of links × 0.01.
Thus, Number of chains = 10 links × 0.01 = 0.1 chain.
How many chains in 50 links?
There are 0.01 chains in one link. Therefore, to convert 50 links into chains, multiply 50 by 0.01. This gives a result of 0.5 chain.
Formula: Number of chains = Number of links × 0.01.
Thus, Number of chains = 50 links × 0.01 = 0.5 chains.
How many chains in 100 links?
There are 0.01 chains in one link. Therefore, to convert 100 links into chains, multiply 100 by 0.01. This gives a result of 1 chain.
Formula: Number of chains = Number of links × 0.01.
Thus, Number of chains = 100 links × 0.01 = 1 chains.
