Inches (US survey) unit in Length An inch (U.S. survey) is a unit of length used in American land surveying, equal to 1/12th of a U.S. survey foot, or approximately 2.54 centimeters. This unit is nearly identical to the standard inch but is used for more precise measurements in land surveying. The U.S. survey inch ensures consistency in land records and property boundaries.
Chains unit in Length A chain is a unit of length traditionally used in land surveying, equal to 66 feet or approximately 20.12 meters. The chain was originally based on the length of a surveyor's chain and is still used in some contexts for measuring land parcels, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. This unit is also commonly referenced in historical land records.
