Millimeter (mm) — one thousandth of a meter
Used for precision work, machining, and rainfall depth reporting. Suitable for tolerances and tiny parts.
- Symbol: mm
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 mm = 0.001 m = 0.1 cm
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 mm = 0.0393700787 in
- Typical examples: screw diameters, gasket thickness, PCB traces
Chain - traditional surveying length unit
Chain is a historical unit used in land surveying, specifically Gunter’s chain. Used on cadastral maps and by railways and surveyors across the English-speaking world.
- Symbols: ch (common)
- System: Imperial/US customary (historic surveying)
- Exact relations: 1 chain = 66 ft = 22 yd = 4 rods = 100 links = 1/80 mile; 10 chains = 1 furlong
- Metric equivalents: 1 chain = 20.1168 m (exact)
- Typical examples: UK railway distances recorded in miles and chains; a cricket pitch length is 1 chain (22 yd)
