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.
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.
