Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Chains.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to chains is:
Length(Chains) = Length(Pica) / 4751.999997972227
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Chains) = 12 / 4751.999997972227
Length(Chains) = 0.0025252525263301
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 0.0025252525263301 ch.
The length is 0.0025252525263301 ch, in chains.
2
Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long.
Convert this length from picas to Chains.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to chains is:
Length(Chains) = Length(Pica) / 4751.999997972227
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Chains) = 6 / 4751.999997972227
Length(Chains) = 0.0012626262631651
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 0.0012626262631651 ch.
The length is 0.0012626262631651 ch, in chains.

Pica
A pica is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One pica is equivalent to 1/6 of an inch or approximately 4.233 millimeters.
The pica is defined as 12 points, with one point being 1/72 of an inch. It is used to measure the size of type, line length, and spacing in printed materials.
Picas are commonly used in the printing and graphic design industries to ensure consistency in text layout and design. The unit provides a standard measurement for various typographic and layout tasks.
Chains
A chain is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying and agriculture. One chain is equivalent to 66 feet or approximately 20.1168 meters.
The chain is defined as 66 feet, which is historically based on the length of a chain used in surveying practices and land measurement.
Chains are commonly used in land surveying for measuring distances, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. The unit is useful for tasks such as plotting and dividing land and has historical significance in the development of surveying techniques.
