About these units
Decigram (dg)
A decigram equals 1/10 of a gram and appears in older scientific literature, pharmaceutical compounding, and some food chemistry applications. Today, milligrams and grams are more common, but decigrams still offer practical value when describing masses that naturally fall between these scales, such as certain supplements or cosmetic ingredients. The decigram remains a reminder of the metric system's logical progression, offering users a consistent, scalable set of units.
Pennyweight (pwt)
The pennyweight, equal to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.55517384 grams, is a unit used primarily in the precious metals and jewelry industries. Its origins lie in medieval English coinage, when the weight of silver pennies provided a practical standard for small masses. Jewelers continue to use the pennyweight because many traditional pricing structures and metalworking conventions are built around troy-based subdivisions. For gold, silver, and dental alloys, the pennyweight remains easier to work with than grams due to long-established norms. Even though the metric system is now dominant scientifically, the pennyweight persists because industries tied to history—especially those involving money and precious goods—tend to maintain deeply rooted practices.
