Kilogram-force square second/meter

What is a kilogram-force square second/meter?

The kilogram-force second-squared per meter (the hyl or TME) is about 9.807 kg.

Origin of the kilogram-force square second/meter

The mass unit of the metric gravitational (technical) system.

Where it is used

Older continental European engineering practice.

When and where it was developed

Used in the metric technical system before SI adoption.

Indian / South Asian

Ratti

What is a ratti?

The ratti equals about 0.1215 gram, the smallest traditional South Asian weight.

Origin of the ratti

Based on the seed of the Gunja plant (Abrus precatorius), or 'raktika' in Sanskrit.

Where it is used

Gemstones and gold in Indian and South Asian jewelry.

When and where it was developed

One of the oldest weight units of the Indian subcontinent, later standardized.

Kilogram-force square second/meter to Ratti conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between kilogram-force square second/meters and rattis:

Step-by-step: convert kilogram-force square second/meters to rattis

  1. Write down the value in kilogram-force square second/meters (hyl).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 80713.1687242798.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in rattis (ratti).
  4. To reverse, multiply the ratti value by 1.238955e-5.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 hyl to ratti:
1 × 80713.1687242798 = 80713.1687242798 ratti

Example 2 — Convert 100 hyl to ratti:
100 × 80713.1687242798 = 8071316.8724279832 ratti

Real-world example — Sub-meter precision

A 0.001-kilogram-force square second/meter (1 mm) tolerance equals 1,000 rattis — useful for surface-finish specs, where macro-scale dimensions are given in the larger unit but feature roughness in the smaller.

0.001 hyl × 80713.1687242798 = 80.7131687243 ratti

Real-world example — Macro-to-micro scale comparison

2 kilogram-force square second/meters of measurement converts to a very large number in rattis — useful in materials science when comparing bulk-sample dimensions to feature-level surface specs.

2 hyl × 80713.1687242798 = 161426.3374485597 ratti

Real-world example — Macroscopic to microscopic

One kilogram-force square second/meter equals a million rattis. Optical engineers calculating coherence length compare macro-scale path lengths with micro-scale wavelength differences using exactly this conversion.

1 hyl × 80713.1687242798 = 80713.1687242798 ratti
