Description

Square Chain (ch²)

The square chain is a historical unit of area measurement, primarily used in land surveying. One square chain is defined as the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equating to 4,356 square feet or approximately 404.686 square meters.

This unit was commonly employed in the United States and other countries that used the imperial system, especially for agricultural and land division purposes. Although modern surveying has largely transitioned to metric units, understanding the square chain is essential for interpreting historical land records and legal documents.

In contemporary contexts, the square chain is occasionally referenced in rural property descriptions and by professionals dealing with land assessment and historical property boundaries.

Understanding the Square Dekameter (dam²)

A square dekameter (dam²) equals 100 square meters and is used for measuring smaller land parcels or construction sites. It represents a square area with sides of 10 meters each.

For example, a garden measuring 2 dam² covers an area of 200 m². This unit is beneficial for landscaping, small-scale farming, and construction planning.
