Decigrams (dg)
Definition
A decigram (dg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram (0.1 g) or 100 milligrams.
History
The decigram is part of the metric prefix system established in France in 1795. Like the centigram, it has limited practical use but completes the logical progression of metric sub-units.
Current use
Decigrams are infrequently used in everyday measurements. They occasionally appear in educational contexts, some pharmaceutical formulations, and older European technical specifications.
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.
