Ramsden chain (rch). The Ramsden or engineer's chain is 100 feet (30.48 m), used in engineering surveys.
Meter (m). The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
There are 30.48 meters in one Ramsden chain.
Multiply the number of Ramsden chains by 30.48. For example, 10 Ramsden chains equal 304.8 meters.
One meter equals 0.0328084 Ramsden chains.
