2. Chain (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_(unit)

   The UK statute chain is 22 yards, which is 66 feet (20.1168 m). This unit is a statute measure in the United Kingdom, defined in the Weights and Measures Act 1985. [6] One link is a hundredth part of a chain, which is 7.92 inches (20.1168 cm).

3. Gunter's chain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunter's_chain

   A quarter chain, or 25 links, measures 16 feet 6 inches (5.03 m) and thus measures a rod (or pole). Ten chains measure a furlong and 80 chains measure a statute mile. [1] Gunter's chain reconciled two seemingly incompatible systems: the traditional English land measurements, based on the number four, and decimals based on the number 10.

4. Link (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_(unit)

   In many measurement systems based on former English units, the link has remained fixed at 0.66 feet, therefore 0.22 yards or 7.92 inches; it is the absolute length of the yard that has varied. A rare remaining application of the link is in the service of some surveying in the United States, which relates to the definition of the survey foot.

5. Kinetic chain length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_chain_length

   In chain-growth polymerization the propagation step is the addition of a monomer to the growing chain. The word kinetic is added to chain length in order to distinguish the number of reaction steps in the kinetic chain from the number of monomers in the final macromolecule, a quantity named the degree of polymerization. In fact the kinetic ...

6. Rod (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_(unit)

   The practice of using surveyor's chains, and perch-length rods made into a detachable stiff chain, came about a century later when iron was a more plentiful and common material. A chain is a larger unit of length measuring 66 feet (20.1168 m), or 22 yards, or 100 links, [11] or 4 rods (20.1168 meters).

7. Kuhn length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuhn_length

   The length of a fully stretched chain is = for the Kuhn segment chain. [5] In the simplest treatment, such a chain follows the random walk model, where each step taken in a random direction is independent of the directions taken in the previous steps, forming a random coil.

9. Bicycle chain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_chain

   A more conservative limit is when 24 half-links in the old chain measure 12 + 1 ⁄ 16 inches (306 mm) (0.5% wear). If the chain has worn beyond this limit, the rear sprockets are also likely to wear, in extreme cases followed by the front chainrings. In this case, the 'skipping' mentioned above is liable to continue even after the chain is ...
