Encyclopedia > Decimeter

A decimetre (symbol: dm, American spelling: decimeter) is a measurement of distance equal to ten centimetres or 1/10 metre.


Cubic decimetres are a common measurement of volume, equal to 1 litre, which is often used in chemistry and other sciences, for example when specifying molarity.


centimetre << decimetre << metre

Sub-meter, decimeter and sub-centimeter are common specifications in the GPS industry but are often misunderstood.
Decimeter accuracy will establish positions within 10 centimeters whereas decimeter-level accuracy may only be capable of achieving an accuracy of several decimeters.
Decimeter products generally rely on a weaker portion of the GPS signal and therefore require a more rigorous procedure and better field conditions than other accuracy specifications.
