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.
Stone (st)
Definition
A stone (st) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35029 kilograms.
History
The stone has been used as a weight measure in England and Ireland since at least the 14th century. Different commodities historically used different stone weights; the 14-pound stone was standardized in 1835 by the British Weights and Measures Act.
Current use
Stones are primarily used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to express body weight (e.g., '11 stone 4 pounds'). They are not used in the United States or most other countries.
