Title: Any surveyors architecs old guys that can help me with a conversion?
Post by: JOHN G on September 24, 2010, 07:23:53 PM

Need to convert the area of a block of land on title from one chain to an inch to square metres.

(Hoping it will be large enough to convert to a duplex site)

Thanks
John

1 ch. = 792.001"
1" = 25.4 mm

Therefore; 1 ch. = (792.001 * 25.4) / 1000 m = 20.1168 m

Hope that helps, Google rocks!
