Conversion Formula for Span to Chain
The formula of conversion of Span to Chain is very simple. To convert Span to Chain, we can use this simple formula:
1 Span = 0.0113636364 Chain
1 Chain = 88 Span
One Span is equal to 0.0113636364 Chain. So, we need to multiply the number of Span by 0.0113636364 to get the no of Chain. This formula helps when we need to change the measurements from Span to Chain
Span to Chain Conversion
The conversion of unit Span to unit Span is very simple. Since, as discussed above, One Span is equal to 0.0113636364 Chain. So, to convert Span to Chain, we must multiply no of Span to 0.0113636364. Example:-

Details for Span (Cloth Measurement)
Introduction : The span equals 9 inches, traditionally representing the distance between thumb tip and little finger tip with fingers outstretched. This practical body-based measurement was widely used for textiles and small-scale construction.
History & Origin : Dating back to ancient civilizations, standardized in England as exactly 9 inches (1/4 yard). Used alongside other anthropic units like the foot and cubit. The name reflects the 'span' of a stretched hand.
Current Use : Historically measured cloth bolts and sail dimensions. Still appears in some traditional crafts like quilting. 2 spans made 1 cubit in many historical systems. The modern wingspan measurement derives from this concept.
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.
