Link (US Survey)


The US survey link is a unit of length used in the United States for land surveying, defined as exactly 7.92 US survey inches. Since one US survey inch is slightly longer than the international inch (due to the US survey foot), the US survey link is approximately 0.201168 meters.


It is part of the US survey system, derived from Gunter’s chain, which is divided into 100 links per chain (66 US survey feet). Links are used to measure small distances in surveying and land measurement.


Key facts:



  • 1 US survey link = 7.92 US survey inches



  • 1 US survey link β‰ˆ 0.201168 meters



  • 100 links = 1 US survey chain (66 US survey feet)



  • 25 links = 1 US survey rod (16.5 US survey feet)



Though the US survey units are being phased out, the US survey link still appears in historical land records and legal surveying documents.



Rope


A rope is a traditional unit of length used mainly in land measurement, especially in parts of India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries. The exact length of a rope can vary by region, but it is generally around 20 to 25 feet (approximately 6 to 7.6 meters).


In some places, a rope is defined as 20 feet or 6.096 meters, and it is often used in agriculture and construction for measuring land or distances. The term β€œrope” is more of a customary or local measurement rather than a standardized unit like a foot or meter.


Because of its regional nature, the rope is not commonly used in international or scientific contexts, but it remains important in traditional surveying and rural land measurement in certain areas.
