Gram (g)
Mass
Traceable to the kilogram, defined by fixing the Planck constant at 6.626 070 15 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s. Avoirdupois masses derive from the 1959 international pound (0.453 592 37 kg exactly).

About Gram
The gram equals one thousandth of a kilogram. It is commonly used for measuring food, ingredients, and small items.
Common uses: cooking, nutrition labels, jewelry.
About Decigram
The decigram (dg) is a unit of mass and weight. One decigram equals 0.0001 kilograms. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other mass unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.
Common uses: mass calculations, engineering and science, education.
