How to convert chains (US survey) to nanometers
1 chain (us survey) is equal to 20,116,840,230 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 4.970959596 × 10⁻¹¹ chains (US survey). To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = chains (US survey) × 20,116,840,230
nanometers = chains (US survey) ÷ 4.970959596 × 10⁻¹¹Example: convert 1 ch (US) to nm: 1 × 20,116,840,230 = 20,116,840,230 nm.

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 nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It's used for wavelengths of light (visible light is about 380–750 nm), molecules and chip manufacturing processes.
Symbol: nm · 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m · Category: Metric (SI)
