Facts about Milligram

Basic facts: A milligram is a unit of weight and mass that is based on the kilogram, which is the International System of Units (SI) base unit of mass. It is equivalent to 1/1,000,000 kilograms or 1/1,000 grams.

History: As already mentioned, the milligram is based on the SI unit of weight and mass, the kilogram. It uses the “milli”, SI prefix as a SI unit, to denote that it is a submultiple of the base unit. The prefix – “milli” indicates a submultiple with respect to the gram, the kilogram.

Use: The milligram is widely used in many applications as a submultiple of an SI base unit, from widespread use in scientific labs, among other areas, to everyday use to measure the weight or mass of substances, foods, etc.

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.
