Units explained
Kilogram-force square second/meter
The kilogram-force second-squared per meter (the hyl or TME) is about 9.807 kg.
The mass unit of the metric gravitational (technical) system.
Older continental European engineering practice.
Used in the metric technical system before SI adoption.
Centigram
A centigram (cg) equals 0.00001 kilogram, or 0.01 gram.
From the SI prefix 'centi-' (from Latin 'centum', hundred).
Used in pharmacology and analytical chemistry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 hyl to cg:
1 × 980664.9999999999 = 980664.9999999999 cg
Example 2 — Convert 100 hyl to cg:
100 × 980664.9999999999 = 9.80665e+7 cg
Real-world example — Macro-to-micro scale comparison
2 kilogram-force square second/meters of measurement converts to a very large number in centigrams — useful in materials science when comparing bulk-sample dimensions to feature-level surface specs.
2 hyl × 980664.9999999999 = 1961329.9999999998 cg
Real-world example — Macroscopic to microscopic
One kilogram-force square second/meter equals a million centigrams. Optical engineers calculating coherence length compare macro-scale path lengths with micro-scale wavelength differences using exactly this conversion.
1 hyl × 980664.9999999999 = 980664.9999999999 cg
Real-world example — Sub-meter precision
A 0.001-kilogram-force square second/meter (1 mm) tolerance equals 1,000 centigrams — useful for surface-finish specs, where macro-scale dimensions are given in the larger unit but feature roughness in the smaller.
0.001 hyl × 980664.9999999999 = 980.665 cg
