About Rod
The rod (pole or perch) equals 16.5 feet (5.0292 m). Four rods make a chain, and it still appears in older deeds and fencing estimates.
Common uses: historic deeds, fencing, surveying.
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.
