How to convert microns to chains
1 micron is equal to 4.970969538 × 10⁻⁸ chains, and 1 chain is equal to 20,116,800 microns. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
chains = microns × 4.970969538 × 10⁻⁸
chains = microns ÷ 20,116,800Example: convert 1 µ to ch: 1 × 4.970969538 × 10⁻⁸ = 4.970969538 × 10⁻⁸ ch.

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)
About the chain
Gunter's chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), equal to 100 links or 4 rods. A cricket pitch is one chain long, and an acre is 10 square chains.
