FAQ
What is the conversion factor from ch to yd?
1 ch equals 22 yd. To convert, multiply the value in chains by 22.
How do I convert 1 ch to yd?
1 ch = 22 yd. For any value, multiply by 22.
How do I convert yd back to ch?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.04545455. So 1 yd = 0.0454545 ch.
When would I need to convert chain (Gunter's chain) to yard?
Length conversions appear in piping, layout, and mechanical drawings — particularly when reconciling imperial fittings or instrument lengths with metric plant drawings.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
