Gram (g) — a common SI unit of mass
It is defined as one thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit for mass; the kilogram is defined by fixing the Planck constant at exactly 6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ J·s. Used worldwide for measuring small amounts of mass in science, cooking, nutrition, medicine, commerce, and everyday life.
- Symbol: g
- System: SI unit for mass; decimal submultiple of the kilogram
- Exact relations: 1 g = 0.001 kg = 1000 mg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 g ≈ 0.03527396 oz ≈ 0.00220462 lb
- Typical examples: a paperclip ~1 g; a teaspoon of sugar ~4 g; a chocolate bar ~50 g.
Metric ton (t) — a metric unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms
It is defined as exactly 1000 kilograms; the metric ton is also called the tonne. Used worldwide for measuring large masses in shipping, industry, agriculture, construction, freight, commodities, and vehicle weights.
- Symbol: t
- System: Non-SI unit accepted for use with SI; equal to 1000 kilograms
- Exact relations: 1 t = 1000 kg = 1,000,000 g = 1,000,000,000 mg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 t ≈ 2204.62 lb ≈ 1.10231 US short tons ≈ 0.984207 UK long tons
- Typical examples: a small car ~1.5 t; a shipping container load can be tens of t; bulk grain or cement often measured in t.
