How to convert Span to Chain

Conversion factor and calculation steps from Span (span) to Chain (ch).

Conversion logic

Each unit is defined via the base unit (meter (m)). The value is first converted to the base unit, then to the selected unit.

1 span = 0.2286 m

1 ch = 20.1168 m

1 span × 0.2286 = 0.2286 m

0.2286 m ÷ 20.1168 = 0.0113636363636 ch
