Measurement chains have 100 galvanized mild steel wire links of 4mm diameter. Work is carried out precisely and accurately using measurements. Measurements are used in every corner of the house, from the kitchen to the office. In addition to meters, centimeters, feet, inches, acres, yards, and more, there are various measurements.
Define Chain Surveying
A chain or tape is used to measure each side of the triangle in chain surveying. Each triangle is divided into small triangles in certain areas. To measure the area of land, different types of chains are used in surveying.
Besides measuring length and width only, chain surveying does not take angular measurements, making it an ideal method for small, less obstructed areas. The term chain triangulation is also used to describe chain surveying.
Chain Types
Revenue Chain
There are 16 links in this Revenue chain, each with a height of 2.06 feet, which is commonly used in cadastral surveys. It is a standard size of 33 feet, and each link is 2 feet long.
Surveyor Chain
It consists of 100 links that measure .66 feet each so that the chain is 66 feet long. Surveyors' chains are also known as Gunter's chains.
Steel Band Chain
Steel Band chain consists of a broad strip of blue steel with uniform dimensions of 12mm to 16mm and .3mm to .6mm thickness. When continuous use is experienced, the links bend and the length of the chain shortens due to the constant bending of the chain.
