  2. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    However, the names of all SI mass units are based on gram, rather than on kilogram; thus 10 3 kg is a megagram (10 6 g), not a *kilokilogram. The tonne (t) is an SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram ( Mg ), or 10 3 kg.

  4. List of metric units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

    The centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS) is based on three base units: centimetre, gram and second. Its subsystems (CGS-ESU, CGS-EMU and CGS-Gaussian) have different defining equations for their systems of quantities for defining electromagnetic quantities and hence the associated units, with CGS-Gaussian units being selected from each of the other two subsystems.

    The formula from milligrams (mg) ... For example, 1 mmol (0.001 mol) of Na + is equal to 1 meq, while 1 mmol of Ca 2+ is equal to 2 meq. References

  6. Mass concentration (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_concentration_(chemistry)

    In water solutions containing relatively small quantities of dissolved solute (as in biology), such figures may be "percentivized" by multiplying by 100 a ratio of grams solute per mL solution. The result is given as "mass/volume percentage". Such a convention expresses mass concentration of 1 gram of solute in 100 mL of solution, as "1 m/v %".

  7. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    For historical reasons, the names and symbols for multiples and sub-multiples of the unit of mass are formed as if the gram were the base unit. Prefix names and symbols are attached to the unit name gram and the unit symbol g respectively. For example, 10 −6 kg is written milligram and mg, not microkilogram and μkg. [1]: 144

  8. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    There are gram calories and kilogram calories. One kilogram calorie, which equals one thousand gram calories, often appears capitalised and without a prefix (i.e. Cal) when referring to "dietary calories" in food. [17] It is common to apply metric prefixes to the gram calorie, but not to the kilogram calorie: thus, 1 kcal = 1000 cal = 1 Cal.

  9. Centimetre–gram–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre–gram–second...

    For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s 2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s 2), is equal to 100 000 dynes. On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena (involving units of charge , electric and magnetic fields, voltage , and so on), converting between CGS and SI is less ...
