Handspan is not used as a measurement of length. Because the handspan is not a standard value and it is not a standard quantity. The handspan is different for different persons. It changes from person to person. There is no standard value for hand span.
To measure a unit we must need a standard value and a standard quantity.
For ex: Take a meter.
The value of meter is standard. It does not change.
But handspan changes. So, handspan is not used for measuring length.
Hope my answer helps you.
