Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (hectometer) A hectometre (American spelling: hectometer, symbol: hm) is a measurement of distance equal to 100 metres. This measure is rarely used and is included mostly for completeness, since usage of the SI prefix hecto is no longer recommended. Unit Definition (douzieme [print]) The douzième is a traditional unit of distance used in watchmaking. The word is French for "twelfth," and a douzième is equal to 1/12 Swiss ligne, about 188 micrometers (microns) or 7.4 mils.
