What are Pound-troy and Attogram

Definition of Pound-troy

The pound-troy, or troy pound, is a unit of weight traditionally used for precious metals and gemstones. One pound-troy is equivalent to approximately 373.2417216 grams. Historically linked with the Roman monetary system, the troy weight system is primarily used in the United Kingdom and the United States for measuring precious metals, as opposed to the more common avoirdupois pound used in everyday life.

Definition of Attogram

An attogram is a unit of mass equal to 10^-18 grams, or one quintillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000) of a gram. It is part of the metric system, which is based on the International System of Units (SI). Attograms are used to measure extremely small masses, much like the particles in the subatomic realm. This unit is not commonly used in everyday practice but is essential for scientific research involving nanotechnology, particle physics, and chemistry.
