Convert Hand to Horizontal Pitch (h to hp)

What is a Hand?

The Hand is a non-SI unit of measurement of length substantially equal to 4 inches. It is used today primarily for measuring the height of horses.

What is a Horizontal Pitch?

The Horizontal Pitch (HP) is a unit of length used in modular systems (like Eurorack), equal to 0.2 inches (5.08 mm).

How to Convert Hand to Horizontal Pitch

To convert Hand to Horizontal Pitch, multiply the Hand value by 20.

hp = h × 20

Manual Calculation Steps

Step 1: Identify the Formula
