Introduction 66-Feet Gunter Chain for Surveying
The Gunter Chain 66 ft stands as one of the most reliable and historically significant surveying instruments in land measurement. Edmund Gunter invented this measuring device in 1620, and surveyors around the world still use it today for official land boundary work. Bangladesh’s land survey professionals rely on the Gunter Chain 66 ft for boundary demarcation, cadastral surveys, and legal land documentation. The chain spans exactly 66 feet in total length, divided into 100 precisely engineered steel links. Each link measures 7.92 inches, and together they allow surveyors to calculate land areas directly in acres without complex conversions. Ten square chains equal exactly one acre, which makes this tool the natural choice for agricultural land measurement across Bangladesh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a Gunter Chain 66 ft and how does it work?
A Gunter Chain 66 ft is a professional land measuring tool that consists of 100 interconnected steel links. Surveyors stretch the chain between two points on the ground to measure distances. Brass tags at every 10th link allow surveyors to read partial chain measurements quickly, without counting individual links from the beginning 66-Feet Gunter Chain for Surveying
Q2: Why do surveyors in Bangladesh use the Gunter Chain 66 ft?
Bangladesh land measurement uses chains as a fundamental unit. One chain equals 66 feet, which also equals 44 Hat or 22 Gaz in local units. Government survey departments and private surveyors choose the Gunter Chain 66 ft because it directly relates to the acre measurement system, making land area calculations straightforward and legally recognized 66-Feet Gunter Chain for Surveying.
Q3: How many Gunter Chains make one mile?
Eighty Gunter Chains equal exactly one mile. Additionally, ten chains equal one furlong, and ten square chains equal one acre. These mathematical relationships make the Gunter Chain an efficient tool for both linear distance measurement and land area calculation.
Q4: What material does ASTZBD’s Gunter Chain consist of?
The Gunter Chain 66 ft available at ASTZBD uses heavy-duty steel wire for the links and rings, providing durability for daily field use. The handles and identification tags consist of brass, which resists corrosion and maintains readability over years of outdoor use.

Yes, ASTZBD ships the Gunter Chain 66 ft to all districts across Bangladesh. Dhaka city customers receive same-day delivery. Customers in other divisions and districts receive their orders through fast courier services within the standard delivery timeline.
Q6: How do surveyors count links using the brass tags?
Brass tags on the Gunter Chain indicate the number of full tens from the nearest end. A tag with one pointer marks 10 or 90 links, two pointers mark 20 or 80 links, three pointers mark 30 or 70 links, and four pointers mark 40 or 60 links. A round tag marks the exact midpoint at 50 links, which equals 33 feet 66-Feet Gunter Chain for Surveying
