The vara castellana is a traditional Spanish unit of length that was widely used in Spain and its former colonies. It is roughly equivalent to 0.8359 meters (about 32.9 inches).

The vara castellana was commonly used in land measurement, construction, and textiles. Its length could vary slightly by region and time, but the standardized vara castellana became an important reference for legal and commercial measurements.

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 ≈ 0.201168 meters
100 links = 1 US survey chain (66 US survey feet)
25 links = 1 US survey rod (16.5 US survey feet)
