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.
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) equals 0.01 kilogram, or 10 grams.
From the SI prefix 'deka-' (from Greek 'deka', ten).
Widely used in Central and Eastern European cooking and shops (dag/dkg).
Part of the original metric system introduced in 1795.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 hyl to dag:
1 × 980.665 = 980.665 dag
Example 2 — Convert 100 hyl to dag:
100 × 980.665 = 98066.5 dag
Real-world example — Pet and accessory dimensions
A 3-kilogram-force square second/meter dog leash equals a tidy round value in dekagrams. Pet-supply shopping frequently mixes the two units across product specifications.
3 hyl × 980.665 = 2941.995 dag
Real-world example — Fabric and tailoring
One kilogram-force square second/meter of fabric converts to a value in dekagrams commonly used for seam allowances. Garment patterns frequently switch between the two units on a single instruction sheet.
1 hyl × 980.665 = 980.665 dag
Real-world example — Body height conversion (reverse direction)
You measure 1.75 kilogram-force square second/meters tall and need to fill in a gym membership form or medical record that asks for height in dekagrams. This is the most-used everyday length conversion in metric-using countries.
1.75 hyl × 980.665 = 1716.16375 dag
