What are Centigram and Pound-troy

Definition of Centigram

A centigram is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to one hundredth of a gram, or 0.01 grams. It is a small unit often used in scientific measurements for mass where precision is required. Though not commonly used in everyday scenarios, it is crucial for laboratory work, and pharmaceutical and nutritional applications where exact mass measurements are necessary.

Definition of Pound-troy

A pound-troy, also known as troy pound, is a unit of mass that is part of the troy weight system. It is traditionally used for precious metals and gemstones. One pound-troy is equivalent to 12 troy ounces or approximately 373.24 grams. Unlike the avoirdupois pound, which contains 16 ounces and is commonly used in the United States for weighing general goods, the troy pound is specialized for high-value, low-weight commodities.
