What are Grain and Slug

Definition of Grain

A grain is a unit of mass that originated in the troy weight, avoirdupois, and apothecaries' systems. It is based on the mass of a single seed of a cereal grain such as wheat or barley. Historically, it is the smallest unit of mass in these systems and is equivalent to precisely 64.79891 milligrams. The grain was originally used to weigh precious metals, medicines, and gemstones, and despite its antiquity, it is still used in some fields like archery, ammunition, and dentistry.

Definition of Slug

A slug is a unit of mass in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units, primarily used in the United States. It is defined as the mass that is accelerated by 1 foot per second squared when a force of one pound-force is exerted on it. In simpler terms, a slug is the mass that weighs 32.174 pounds-force at sea level on Earth. The slug offers a way to work with weight and mass in the FPS system without conversion between units.
