Chain

A chain is a unit of length traditionally used in land surveying. The most common version is the Gunter’s chain, which equals 66 feet or 22 yards, approximately 20.1168 meters.

The chain was introduced by English clergyman Edmund Gunter in the 17th century to simplify land measurement. One chain consists of 100 links, each 0.66 feet long. It became a standard unit in British and American land surveying and was instrumental in defining land areas, especially in the U.S. Public Land Survey System.

Key Conversions:

1 chain = 66 feet
1 chain = 22 yards
1 chain ≈ 20.1168 meters
10 chains = 1 furlong
80 chains = 1 mile

Though now largely replaced by metric units and modern surveying tools, the chain still appears in older land deeds, maps, and rural property descriptions.

Kiloyard

A kiloyard is a less commonly used unit of length that equals 1,000 yards. Since one yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, a kiloyard is equivalent to 914.4 meters or 0.9144 kilometers.

While not widely used in everyday measurements or scientific contexts, the kiloyard may occasionally appear in specialized fields like military applications, ballistics, or older engineering texts where large distances were measured in yards. It follows the metric-style prefix "kilo-" (meaning one thousand) combined with the imperial unit "yard."

Conversion:

1 kiloyard = 1,000 yards
1 kiloyard = 914.4 meters
1 kiloyard ≈ 0.568 miles

Due to the dominance of the metric system and the more common use of miles for longer imperial distances, the kiloyard remains a rare and non-standard unit in most modern contexts.
