Decameter to Hectometer Converter

1 Decameter = 0 Hectometer

About Decameter (dam) and Hectometer (hm) Units

The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam). The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers.

Decameter to Hectometer Conversion Formula

To convert between Decameter (dam) and Hectometer (hm), use the following formulas:

1 Decameter (dam) = 0.1 Hectometer (hm)

1 Hectometer (hm) = 10 Decameter (dam)
