Centigrams (cg)
Definition
A centigram (cg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram (0.01 g) or 10 milligrams.
History
The centigram is part of the original metric prefix system. While it has never been widely used in everyday life, it serves as a useful intermediate unit in some educational and technical contexts.
Current use
Centigrams are rarely used in modern practice. They may appear in European pharmaceutical specifications, some chemistry educational materials, and certain specialized industrial measurements.
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.
