Fathom (US Survey)


The fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used in U.S. surveying and nautical contexts, defined as exactly 6 US survey feet. Since one US survey foot is approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey fathom measures about 1.828804 meters.


Like the international fathom, it is primarily used to measure water depths and underwater distances in marine navigation and surveying.


Key details:



  • 1 US survey fathom = 6 US survey feet



  • 1 US survey fathom ≈ 1.828804 meters



  • 1 fathom = 2 yards



Though the difference between the US survey fathom and the international fathom is very small, the US survey units are being phased out in favor of international standards, but they still appear in some legal and historical surveying documents.



Link


A link is a traditional unit of length used primarily in land surveying. It is defined as exactly 7.92 inches or approximately 20.1168 centimeters.


The link originated from Gunter's chain, a 66-foot measuring device introduced in 1620 by English mathematician Edmund Gunter. This chain was divided into 100 equal parts, each measuring one link. The link became a standard unit in English-speaking countries for surveying and land measurement.


Key Facts:



  • 1 link = 7.92 inches



  • 1 link ≈ 20.1168 cm



  • 25 links = 1 rod (16.5 feet)



  • 100 links = 1 chain (66 feet)



  • 1,000 links = 1 furlong (660 feet)



While the link has largely fallen out of general use, it remains a part of historical surveying practices and is still referenced in some legal and cadastral documents.
