Chain
Chain (ch) is represented in this converter as 20.1168 meters.
History: Chain is tied to surveying systems that predate or supplement modern SI land measurement.
Current use: Chain conversions are useful for land records, maps, property boundaries, and historical survey data.
Also written as ch.
Nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.
History: Nanometers became widely used as science and manufacturing began describing atomic-scale structures.
Current use: Nanometers are common in wavelengths, chip manufacturing, nanotechnology, and molecular measurements.
Also written as nm, nanometers, nanometre, nanometres.
