Convert chain to fermi
Enter a value below to convert chain [ch] to fermi [F, f]. Reverse conversion: Convert fermi to chain.
1 ch = 2.0117e+16 F, f. To convert chain to fermi, multiply the value by 2.0117e+16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 F, f = 4.9710e-17 ch). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Chain to Fermi: Quick Reference
- 1 ch = 2.0117e+16 F, f

How to Convert Chain to Fermi
1 ch = 2.01168e+16 F, f
Example: convert 15 ch to F, f:
15 ch = 15 × 2.01168e+16 F, f = 3.01752e+17 F, f

Chain: Definition and Use
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
Fermi: Definition and Use
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
