About Mil/Thou

A mil (or thou) is one thousandth of an inch, 25.4 micrometres. US manufacturing uses it for sheet, film and coating thickness.

Common uses: plastic film, PCB traces, coating thickness.

About Hectometer

The hectometer (hm) is a unit of distance and length. One hectometer equals 100 metres. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other length unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: length calculations, engineering and science, education.
