Convert Chain to Picometer
Input the number of chains you want to convert to picometers.
How to Convert Chains to Picometers
The chain and picometer are both units of length. By definition, 1 chain equals exactly 2.01168e13 picometers. This means to convert chains to picometers, you multiply by 2.01168e13.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 ch to picometers:
We need to convert chains to picometers
Since 1 ch = 2.01168e13 pm, multiply by 2.01168e13
5 × 2.01168e13 = 1.00584e14
5 ch = 1.00584e14 pm

About These Units
Chain (ch)
A chain (ch) is a surveying unit equal to 66 feet, 22 yards, or 20.1168 meters. Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620, chains are still used in land surveying and property descriptions. Ten chains equal one furlong, 80 chains equal one mile.
Picometer (pm)
A picometer (pm) is a metric unit equal to one trillionth of a meter or 0.001 nanometers. Picometers measure atomic radii (30-300 pm), chemical bond lengths, and X-ray wavelengths. Used primarily in chemistry, physics, and crystallography.
