Hectometers (hm)
Definition
A hectometer (hm) is a metric unit of length equal to 100 meters.
History
The hectometer is part of the metric prefix system. While rarely used as a standalone unit, it is inherent in the hectare (1 ha = 1 hm²), one of the most widely used land measurement units.
Current use
Hectometers are seldom used directly but are implicit in hectare measurements for agriculture and land management. They occasionally appear in distance markers along European roadways.
Mils (thousandths of an inch)
Definition
A mil (also called a thou) is an imperial unit of length equal to one thousandth of an inch (0.001 in or approximately 0.0254 mm).
History
The mil originated in manufacturing and engineering in English-speaking countries as a practical unit for measuring very thin materials. The name 'thou' derives from 'thousandth of an inch'.
Current use
Mils are used in manufacturing for measuring wire diameter, sheet metal thickness, printed circuit board (PCB) trace widths, paint and coating thickness, and plastic film thickness.
