What are Sabin and Square Chain

Definition of Sabin

A Sabin is a non-metric unit of sound absorption used in acoustical engineering. One Sabin is equivalent to the sound absorption of one square foot of a perfectly absorbing surface. Named after the American physicist Wallace Clement Sabine, it helps in measuring the acoustic properties of materials and surfaces in a room or an architectural environment.

Definition of Square Chain

A Square Chain is a unit of area measurement commonly used in land surveying. It is equivalent to an area that is one chain (66 feet) by one chain, making it equal to 66 feet x 66 feet, or 4,356 square feet. The term 'chain' comes from the heavy metal chain that surveyors used historically to measure land.
