How It Works

1. Enter value & unit

Choose what unit your number is in (links, cm, m, or ft). Results update automatically as you type.

2. Set chain & scale

For links, pick metric or Gunter's chain. For cm, m, or ft, results use metric chain plus a Gunter links box. Scale defaults to 1.

3. Read the unit grid

The highlighted card is your input. Other cards show equivalents. Expand “All interpretation modes” for the full breakdown used in FMB workflows.

Gunter vs metric links

Gunter chain work uses links of 7.92 inches (0.201168 m). Metric chain work uses 0.2 m links. Always match the chain type written on the FMB or field book before converting to feet or metres.

Map scale on FMB sketches

When reading a plotted length from a scaled sketch, set Scale to 1:N so paper distance converts to ground distance. At scale 1:1 the converter treats the value as ground links already.

Who this helps

Village surveyors converting chainage tables, juniors learning 1 link to feet, and office staff checking RSR/FMB notes without a scientific calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert links to feet?

Enter the number of links, choose Gunter's or metric chain, and optionally set map scale (1:N). The tool shows feet, metres, and centimetres immediately — e.g. 1 link to feet on Gunter's chain is about 0.66 ft at scale 1:1.

What is 5 links to feet?

On Gunter's chain at scale 1:1, 5 links ≈ 3.30 feet (1 link ≈ 0.66 ft). Use the converter above with your exact scale for FMB or village map measurements.

What is the gunter links to metric links conversion?

1 Gunter link = 7.92 inches (0.201168 m). 1 metric link = 0.2 m. The tool shows both chain systems side by side so you can compare RSR, FMB, and chain-survey records.

How do I convert 1 links to feet on a scaled FMB sketch?

Set chain type (Gunter or metric), enter 1 in the value field, and set Scale to your FMB sketch scale (e.g. 1:500). The feet and metres update for that plotted measurement.

Is this a links to feet calculator for AP surveyors?

Yes. It is built for Andhra Pradesh field measurement book and chain-survey units used in revenue survey maintenance.
