Discover the precision of converting area measurements from square chains to square mils with our user-friendly Square Chain to Square Mil Converter, developed by Newtum. Get accurate conversions with ease!
A chain is a unit of length that measures 66 feet, or 22 yards, or exactly 20.1168 meters. Historically used in surveying, the term 'chain' originates from the heavy metal chain of 100 links that surveyors used to measure land. One chain is equivalent to 4 rods, which are also known as poles or perches.
Definition of MilA mil is a unit of length equal to one-thousandth of an inch, or 0.001 inches. Its name is derived from the Latin word 'millesimum,' meaning thousandth. Mils are commonly used in manufacturing and engineering for precise measurements. It is especially prevalent in the fields of electronics, for PCB design, and in the military for artillery and ammunition measurements.
| Square Chain (ch²) | Square Mil (mil²) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 ch² | 155,000,310 mil² |
| 0.1 ch² | 1,550,003,100 mil² |
| 0.5 ch² | 7,750,015,500 mil² |
| 1 ch² | 15,500,031,000 mil² |
| 2 ch² | 31,000,062,000 mil² |
| 3 ch² | 46,500,093,000 mil² |
| 5 ch² | 77,500,155,000 mil² |
| 10 ch² | 155,000,310,000 mil² |
| 20 ch² | 310,000,620,000 mil² |
| 50 ch² | 775,001,550,000 mil² |
1 ch² = 15,500,031,000 mil²
Example 1:
convert 0.2 ch² to mil²:
0.2 ch² = 0.2 × 15,500,031,000 mil² = 3,100,006,200 mil²
Example 2:
convert 1.5 ch² to mil²:
1.5 ch² = 1.5 × 15,500,031,000 mil² = 23,250,046,500 mil²
A brief history of the Square Chain to Square Mil Converter reveals its roots in the need for precision in areas like land surveying and manufacturing, where the conversion between vastly different area units became necessary for accurate measurements and standardization.
