Hectometer

A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 meters. It is larger than a meter but smaller than a kilometer. While it is part of the official metric system, the hectometer is rarely used in daily life or science. For example, a running track is 400 meters long, which is 4 hectometers. The symbol for hectometer is "hm". Although not commonly seen, it can be useful for measuring medium-range distances, especially when kilometers feel too large and meters too small.

Fathom (US Survey)

The fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used in U.S. surveying and nautical contexts, defined as exactly 6 US survey feet. Since one US survey foot is approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey fathom measures about 1.828804 meters.

Like the international fathom, it is primarily used to measure water depths and underwater distances in marine navigation and surveying.

Key details:

1 US survey fathom = 6 US survey feet
1 US survey fathom ≈ 1.828804 meters

Though the difference between the US survey fathom and the international fathom is very small, the US survey units are being phased out in favor of international standards, but they still appear in some legal and historical surveying documents.
