Inch

An inch is a unit of length used primarily in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. It is commonly used in countries like the United States, Canada, and the UK for measuring shorter lengths. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. There are 12 inches in a foot. Inches are often used to measure things like screen sizes, paper dimensions, or body measurements. For example, a standard smartphone screen might be about 6 inches. The symbol for inch is "in" or a double quote mark (″). Rulers, measuring tapes, and toolkits often include inches for easy reference. Although the metric system is more widely used globally, inches remain common in certain industries and countries for specific applications.

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.
