deka and hecto: Are they annoying, useless, or wrongfully ignored? Johnathan McClure
Aviation uses the hectopascal, which is the new name for the millibar. Agricultural land is usually measured in hectares. The wholesale wine trade is carried out in hectolitres. European engineering frequently expresses force in dekanewtons, which are approximately kilograms-force.
