How to convert chains (US survey) to microns
1 chain (us survey) is equal to 20,116,840.23 microns, and 1 micron is equal to 4.970959596 × 10⁻⁸ chains (US survey). To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
microns = chains (US survey) × 20,116,840.23
microns = chains (US survey) ÷ 4.970959596 × 10⁻⁸Example: convert 1 ch (US) to µ: 1 × 20,116,840.23 = 20,116,840.23 µ.

About the chain (us survey)
The US survey chain is 66 US survey feet, about 20.11684 m, used in the US Public Land Survey System.
Symbol: ch (US) · 1 ch (US) = 20.11684023 m · Category: US survey units
About the micron
The micron is the older name for the micrometer (one millionth of a meter). It's still common in filtration, semiconductor manufacturing and particle sizes.
Symbol: µ · 1 µ = 0.000001 m · Category: Metric (SI)
