A hectare, symbolized as 'ha', is a unit of area measurement within the metric system. It is equivalent to 10,000 square meters, 2.471 acres, or approximately the size of an international rugby field. Hectares are widely used in agriculture, forestry, and land planning to measure large plots of land with ease and precision.
Definition of ChainA chain, in land measurement, is a unit of length that equals 66 feet, or 22 yards, which is 20.1168 meters. The chain is a part of the imperial system of units and was commonly used in surveying land for mapping and planning. It originates from the length of a standard surveyor's chain, which consisted of 100 links.
| Hectare (ha) | Square Chain (ch) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 ha | 0.2471 ch |
| 0.05 ha | 1.2355 ch |
| 0.1 ha | 2.4711 ch |

| 50 ha | 1235.5250 ch |
1 ha = 2.4711 ch
1 ch = 0.4047 ha
Example 1:
Convert 3 ha to ch:
3 ha = 3 × 2.4711 ch = 7.4133 ch
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 ha to ch:
0.5 ha = 0.5 × 2.4711 ch = 1.2355 ch
The Hectare to Square Chain Converter is rooted in historical land measurement practices. The hectare was first used in France during the 1790s, while the chain was developed by English mathematician Gunter in the 1600s. The converter merges these traditional units into a modern tool for seamless area conversions.
