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 “rope” 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.

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.
