Metric Tons (t)
Definition
A metric ton (t), also called a tonne, is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History
The metric ton was introduced as a practical large-scale unit within the metric system. It was designed to replace various regional ton measures and provide a decimal-based alternative to the long and short tons used in English-speaking countries.
Current use
Metric tons are the global standard for measuring bulk commodities (steel, grain, coal), vehicle weight, shipping cargo, CO₂ emissions, and industrial production output.
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.
