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