Grains (gr)
Definition
A grain (gr) is one of the oldest units of mass, equal to approximately 64.799 milligrams or 1/7000 of a pound avoirdupois.
History
The grain is historically based on the weight of a single cereal grain (wheat or barley). It has been used since ancient civilizations and was the basis for many historical weight systems including the troy and apothecaries' systems.
Current use
Grains are used in ammunition and firearms (bullet and powder charge weights), archery (arrow weights), and some pharmaceutical compounding. The gold and jewelry industries use troy grains.
Decagrams (dag)
Definition
A decagram (dag) is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 grams.
History
The decagram is part of the original metric system. It has found particular use in Central European and Italian markets for weighing food products, where it is known as 'deca' or 'deka'.
Current use
Decagrams are commonly used in Italy, Austria, and other Central European countries for deli counter purchases (e.g., '10 deca of ham' = 100 g). They are abbreviated 'dag' or 'dkg' in these regions.
