Microgram (µg) — a very small SI unit of mass
It is defined as one millionth of a gram, or one billionth of a kilogram, the SI base unit for mass. Used worldwide for measuring extremely small masses in medicine, nutrition, chemistry, toxicology, laboratory analysis, and trace substances.
- Symbol: µg
- System: SI unit for mass; decimal submultiple of the kilogram
- Exact relations: 1 µg = 0.001 mg = 0.000001 g = 0.000000001 kg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 µg ≈ 0.000000035274 oz ≈ 0.00000000220462 lb
- Typical examples: a vitamin B12 dose ~500 µg; a folic acid tablet ~400 µg; trace contaminants in food or water often measured in µg.
Denarius (denarius) — a historical Roman unit of mass and silver coin
It was originally a Roman silver coin rather than a modern fixed mass unit; historical denarius weights varied by period, while modern biblical or historical unit converters commonly use about 3.85 grams. Used mainly in numismatics, ancient history, biblical studies, historical trade, and references to Roman coin weights.
- Symbol: denarius
- System: Historical Roman and biblical unit for mass
- Common conversion: 1 denarius ≈ 3.85 g = 3850 mg ≈ 0.00385 kg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 denarius ≈ 0.135805 oz ≈ 0.00848777 lb
- Typical examples: early Roman silver denarii weighed around 4 g; later coin weights changed over time; biblical and historical converters often use about 3.85 g.
