An aln is a historical Scandinavian unit of length used mainly for measuring cloth and distances. Its exact size varied depending on region and time period.

Why convert aln to hectometer?

Converting aln to hectometer allows users to translate old Scandinavian measurements into standardized metric units to facilitate mapping, surveying, and land use planning.

Is the conversion exact?

Because the aln length varies by country and historical era, the conversion provides approximate values suitable for general use, not high-precision calculations.

Browser-based tool requiring no installation or special software.

Examples

10 aln is converted to 0.059377778 hectometer (hm).
100 aln is equivalent to 0.59377778 hectometer (hm).

Common Use Cases

Translating historical Scandinavian cloth and distance measurements for academic research.
Restoring architectural dimensions documented in older Nordic building plans.
Converting lengths found in historical legal or cadastral records into modern units.
Applying lengths in civil engineering, topographic mapping, and agriculture measurement.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the historical context and origin of the aln measurement for accurate conversion.
Use this tool for approximate values rather than exact engineering specifications.
Apply conversions when integrating old measurements into modern geographic information systems.
Cross-check with other sources when dealing with variant aln lengths from different Scandinavian regions.

Limitations

The aln unit length varied by country and period, which may affect precision.
The hectometer is much larger than an aln, limiting accuracy for very small dimensions.
Conversions are suitable for approximate use and not recommended for high-precision needs.
