Our survey chain, also known as a Gunter’s chain, is a traditional land surveying tool used for measuring distance in the field. We design and manufacture this product as the best Survey Chain Manufacturer in Uttarakhand, our chain is made up of a series of 100 links, each of which has a diameter of 7.92 inches and a length of 66 feet.
However, survey chains from Jafri Survey Instruments were used extensively in the past, and their use continues in some countries today. Going way back in the past, the survey chain was invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century, and it quickly became an essential tool for land surveyors.
It was widely used until the mid-20th century when it was replaced by more modern electronic surveying tools. To use our survey chain, a surveyor stretches the chain along the ground between two points and counts the number of links between them. Apart from being a manufacturer and a supplier, we deliver our equipment and tools as the chief Survey Chain Exporter in India.
The surveyor can then use the length of the chain to calculate the distance between the two points. Our Survey chains are often used in conjunction with other surveying tools such as the theodolite and leveling instruments to obtain accurate measurements.
While survey chains are no longer the primary means of distance measurement in modern surveying, they are still used in some situations, such as in areas with limited access to electronic surveying equipment. Survey chains are also used in historical surveying reenactments and demonstrations, allowing people to see how land was surveyed in the past.
