Facts about Gram
Basic facts: A gram is a unit of mass in the SI [International System of Units]. Its symbol is [g]. A kilogram is the base of the definition of a gram, where a gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. The definition of the kilogram is no longer based on the international prototype since 2019. It is rather based on Planck’s constant, h, together with the new definitions of the second and the meter.
History: Initially, a gram was defined as the absolute weight of pure water in a cubic centimeter at the temperature of melting ice [later 4 °C]. Until the widespread adoption of SI, which uses kilograms as the base unit of mass, the gram used to be a fundamental unit of mass as part of centimeter-gram-second systems of units. Later, the gram was redefined as one-thousandth of a kilogram, the SI [meter-kilogram-second system of units] base unit of mass.
Use: In every life as well as scientific context, the gram is widely used. For instance, the gram is commonly used to measure non-liquid ingredients used for groceries or cooking. Standards often require the relative contents to be stated per 100 grams of the product on the nutrition labels of food products.
Facts about Pennyweight
Basic facts: A pennyweight [symbol: dwt] is a unit of mass equivalent to precisely 1.55517384 grams, about 0.054857 avoirdupois ounce, 1/240 of a troy pound, 1/20 of a troy ounce, and 24 grains. Its abbreviation is dwt, d standing for denarius which was an ancient Roman coin, and later used as the symbol of an old British penny.
History: The pound unit in use in England was the Tower pound, equivalent to 7,680 Tower grains [otherwise known as wheat grains]. The medieval English pennyweight was equal to 32 Tower grains. In 1527, Troy weights replaced Tower weights. The Troy weights were determined in such a way that the old Tower pound came out to precisely 5,400 Troy grains, the Tower pennyweight 22+1/2 Troy grains [and thus about 1.46 grams]. The English pennyweight was the Troy pennyweight of 24 Troy grains after 1527.
Use: Jewelers use the pennyweight in calculating the amount and cost of precious metals used in fabricating or casting jewelry, therefore, the pennyweight is the common weight used in the valuation and measurement of precious metals. Dentists and dental labs still use the pennyweight as the measure of precious metals in dental crowns and inlays.
