1 chain (ch) = 792000000 microinch (µin). Chain (ch) is a unit of Length used in Standard system. Microinch (µin) is a unit of Length used in Standard system.

Chain: A Unit of Length

The chain is a unit of length that is equal to 66 feet or 22 yards or 4 rods or 100 links. It is part of the US customary and imperial measurement systems. It is used for measuring land, especially in surveying and mapping. The symbol for chain is ch. There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains. The unit is named after the chain, a measuring device that was invented by Edmund Gunter, a clergyman and mathematician, in the 17th century. The chain is also sometimes called a Gunter’s chain, a surveyor’s chain or a land chain. In this article, we will explore the definition, history, usage and conversion of the chain as a unit of length.

How to Convert

The chain can be converted to other units of length by using conversion factors or formulas. Here are some examples of how to convert chains to other units of length in the US customary system, the imperial system and the SI system:

Microinch: A Unit of Length

The microinch is a unit of length that is equal to one millionth of an inch (0.000001 inch). It is a non-SI unit of measurement that is mainly used in engineering and manufacturing fields. The symbol for microinch is µin or µ". The microinch is also a derived unit in the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement.

The microinch is most commonly used when expressing small distances or dimensions, such as the surface roughness or flatness of materials and parts. The microinch is also used for measuring the wavelength of light and other electromagnetic waves.

In this article, we will explore the definition, history, usage and conversion of the microinch as a unit of length.

Example Conversions of Microinch to Other Units

The microinch can be converted to other units of length by using different factors and formulas. Here are some examples of conversion for different types of units:

• To convert a microinch to inches, divide by 1,000,000:

1 µin / 1,000,000 = 0.000001 in

• To convert a microinch to feet, divide by 12,000,000:

1 µin / 12,000,000 = 8.333 × 10^^-8 ft

• To convert a microinch to yards, divide by 36,000,000:

1 µin / 36,000,000 = 2.778 × 10^^-8 yd

• To convert a microinch to meters, multiply by 2.54 × 10^^-8:

1 µin x 2.54 × 10^-8 = 2.54 × 10^^-8 m

• To convert a microinch to kilometers, multiply by 2.54 × 10^^-14:

1 µin x 2.54 × 10^-14 = 2.54 × 10^^-14 km

• To convert a microinch to nanometers, multiply by 25.4:

1 µin x 25.4 = 25.4 nm

• To convert an inch to microinches, multiply by 1,000,000:

1 in x 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 µin

• To convert a foot to microinches, multiply by 12,000,000:

1 ft x 12,000,000 = 12,000,000 µin

• To convert a yard to microinches, multiply by 36,000,000:

1 yd x 36,000,000 = 36,000,000 µin

• To convert a meter to microinches, divide by 2.54 × 10^^-8:

1 m / 2.54 × 10^^-8 = 39,370,078.74 µin

• To convert a kilometer to microinches, divide by 2.54 × 10^^-14:

1 km / 2.54 × 10^-14 = 39,370,078,740,157.48 µin

• To convert a nanometer to microinches, divide by 25.4:

1 nm / 25.4 = 0.03937 µin
