About these units
Milligram (mg)
A milligram is one-thousandth of a gram and essential for measuring extremely small masses with precision. Pharmacology relies heavily on milligrams to dose medications safely and consistently—especially potent drugs where differences of a few milligrams can be critical. In chemistry and laboratory science, milligrams are used to weigh reagents, catalysts, micro-samples, and test materials. Environmental science uses milligrams per liter or milligrams per kilogram to describe concentrations of contaminants. Its small size makes the milligram ideal for fields requiring strict quantitative control, and its stability within the metric system ensures predictable conversions during calculations.
Poundal (pdl)
The poundal is the unit of force in the foot–pound–second (FPS) system, defined as the force that accelerates a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. Although a force unit, it interacts with mass units in engineering contexts similarly to inertial mass units. Historically, poundals appeared in older physics textbooks and engineering references before the widespread adoption of SI units. Their use has declined dramatically, but they remain part of the history of classical mechanics education. The poundal exemplifies how many different systems attempted to rationalize force, mass, and acceleration before the international community converged on the SI newton.
