About these units
Dekagram (dag)
A dekagram, equal to 10 grams, is used more commonly in parts of Europe, particularly in culinary contexts such as baking or meat sales. Its size is practical for recipes, nutrition labeling, and small food packages. It avoids large numbers in grams without jumping to the heftier hectogram or kilogram. While less familiar in English-speaking countries, the dekagram is valued in regions where metric cooking traditions are strong.
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.
