What is the Formula to convert Chains (US survey) to Span (cloth)?

The formula to convert given length from Chains (US survey) to Span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.011363613645472273

Substitute the given value of length in chains (us survey), i.e., Length_{(Chains (US survey))} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in span (cloth), i.e., Length_{(Span (cloth))}.

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a land survey recorded a boundary line of 25 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Span (cloth).

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains (us survey) is:

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 25

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.011363613645472273

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 25 in the above formula.

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 25 / 0.011363613645472273

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 2200.0044

Final Answer:

Therefore, 25 ch is equal to 2200.0044 span.

The length is 2200.0044 span, in span (cloth).

2

Consider that a railway track section measures 30 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Span (cloth).

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains (us survey) is:

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.011363613645472273

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 30 in the above formula.

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 30 / 0.011363613645472273

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 2640.0053

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 2640.0053 span.

The length is 2640.0053 span, in span (cloth).

Chains (US survey)

A chain (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying in the United States. One US survey chain is equivalent to exactly 66 feet or approximately 20.1168 meters.

The US survey chain is defined as 66 feet, based on historical surveying practices and used for measuring and plotting land.

Chains (US survey) are used in land surveying for tasks such as property measurement, land division, and mapping in the United States. This unit ensures consistency and accuracy in surveying and land measurement activities.

Span (cloth)

A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.

The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.

Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.
