About these units
Teragram (Tg)
A teragram equals 1,000 gigagrams, or 10⁹ kilograms. It is widely used in climatology, atmospheric science, and ecology to describe the mass of carbon, nitrogen, methane, or other substances exchanged annually between Earth's systems. For example, global carbon fluxes—movement of carbon between oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere—are typically measured in teragrams. Volcanoes, wildfires, and anthropogenic emissions often release substances on this scale. Tg-level measurements give researchers insight into the stability, sustainability, and long-term trends of Earth's ecosystems.
Pound (Troy) (lb t)
The troy pound, equal to 12 troy ounces or 373.2417216 grams, is used almost exclusively in the precious metals trade. Unlike the avoirdupois pound used for everyday goods (16 ounces), the troy pound is optimized for precious materials such as gold, silver, and platinum. This system's origins trace back to medieval trade fairs in Troyes, France, a major commercial hub. Merchants needed a consistent unit to prevent fraud and facilitate international trading, especially for valuable metals. Today, although rarely encountered by the general public, the troy pound remains fundamental in metals pricing, refining, and numismatics. It provides continuity in a highly traditional economic sector where consistency over centuries is crucial.
