Decagrams (dag)
Definition
A decagram (dag) is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 grams.
History
The decagram is part of the original metric system. It has found particular use in Central European and Italian markets for weighing food products, where it is known as 'deca' or 'deka'.
Current use
Decagrams are commonly used in Italy, Austria, and other Central European countries for deli counter purchases (e.g., '10 deca of ham' = 100 g). They are abbreviated 'dag' or 'dkg' in these regions.
Drams (dr)
Definition
A dram (dr) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 1/16 of an ounce or approximately 1.7718 grams in the avoirdupois system.
History
The dram derives from the Greek 'drachma', an ancient coin and weight. It entered English measurement through the apothecaries' system and was later incorporated into the avoirdupois system with a different quantity.
Current use
Drams are rarely used today in everyday measurements. They may appear in some older pharmaceutical prescriptions, historical texts, and occasionally in traditional crafts and recipes.
