Buying a chainsaw chain

Do I need to know bar length if I'm ordering a chain if I know the pitch,gauge and drive link measurements? Or will the last 3 measurements automatically give you the correct length?

Count the drive links, number should be visible on the bar.

Have a look at this link https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/chain-guide-bar-sprocket-identification-part-2/

If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
