How to convert chains (US survey) to kiloparsecs
1 chain (us survey) is equal to 6.51942392 × 10⁻¹⁹ kiloparsecs, and 1 kiloparsec is equal to 1.533877858 × 10¹⁸ chains (US survey). To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
kiloparsecs = chains (US survey) × 6.51942392 × 10⁻¹⁹
kiloparsecs = chains (US survey) ÷ 1.533877858 × 10¹⁸Example: convert 1 ch (US) to kpc: 1 × 6.51942392 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 6.51942392 × 10⁻¹⁹ kpc.
