How This Tool Works

This converter uses the surveyor's link relationship from Gunter's chain: 1 link = 0.66 feet. Enter a value in links and the tool multiplies it by 0.66 to show the equivalent distance in feet.

The formula is: feet = links × 0.66. In reverse, links = feet ÷ 0.66. A link is also 7.92 inches, so be careful not to confuse inches with feet.

  • Input: Links (lnk)
  • Conversion factor: 1 lnk = 0.66 ft
  • Output: Feet (ft)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not use 7.92 as feet: 7.92 is the number of inches in one link, not feet.
  • Check chain-based records: 100 links equal 1 chain, and 1 chain equals 66 feet.
  • Keep direction clear: Use the swap control when starting from feet instead of links.
