To convert Ramsden chains to decimeters, multiply the value by 304.8. To go the other way, multiply decimeters by 0.00328084 to get Ramsden chains.
| Ramsden Chains (rch) | Decimeters (dm) |
|---|---|
| 1 rch | 304.8 dm |
| 2 rch | 609.6 dm |
| 5 rch | 1,524 dm |
| 10 rch | 3,048 dm |
| 20 rch | 6,096 dm |
| 50 rch | 15,240 dm |
| 100 rch | 30,480 dm |
| 500 rch | 152,400 dm |
| 1,000 rch | 304,800 dm |
Ramsden chain (rch). The Ramsden or engineer's chain is 100 feet (30.48 m), used in engineering surveys.
Decimeter (dm). A decimeter is one tenth of a meter (10 centimeters), used mostly in schools and some sciences.
There are 304.8 decimeters in one Ramsden chain.
Multiply the number of Ramsden chains by 304.8. For example, 10 Ramsden chains equal 3,048 decimeters.
One decimeter equals 0.00328084 Ramsden chains.
