Centigrams (cg)
Definition
A centigram (cg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram (0.01 g) or 10 milligrams.
History
The centigram is part of the original metric prefix system. While it has never been widely used in everyday life, it serves as a useful intermediate unit in some educational and technical contexts.
Current use
Centigrams are rarely used in modern practice. They may appear in European pharmaceutical specifications, some chemistry educational materials, and certain specialized industrial measurements.
US Tons (short ton)
Definition
A US ton (short ton) is a unit of mass equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kilograms. It is distinct from the metric ton (1,000 kg) and the UK long ton (2,240 lb).
History
The short ton evolved in the United States as a simplified version of the British long ton, rounding down from 2,240 to 2,000 pounds for easier calculation. It became the standard ton measure in American commerce and industry.
Current use
Short tons are used in the United States for measuring bulk materials (gravel, sand), truck payloads, coal production, and demolition debris. The US mining and construction industries predominantly use short tons.
