Grams (g)
Definition
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. It was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at 4°C.
History
The gram was introduced in 1795 as the base unit of mass in the original metric system. Though the kilogram later replaced it as the SI base unit, the gram remains the most commonly used unit for everyday small-scale measurements.
Current use
Grams are used worldwide for food labeling, cooking recipes, postal weighing, jewelry and gemstone measurement, and small-scale scientific work. Nutritional information on food packaging is universally expressed in grams.
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.
