About These Units
About Mercantile Pound
The mercantile pound is a historic English unit of weight, the mercantile pound (libra mercatoria) was the commercial predecessor of the avoirdupois pound. Used from about 1100 to 1300, the mercantile pound contained 15 troy ounces or 7200 grains. This is equivalent to about 1.0286 avoirdupois pounds or 466.55 grams.
About Gram
The gram is a unit of mass in the metric system. The name comes from the Greek gramma, a small weight identified in later Roman and Byzantine times with the Latin scripulum or scruple (the English scruple is equal to about 1.3 grams). The gram was originally defined to be the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water, but to provide precise standards it was necessary to construct physical objects of specified mass. One gram is now defined to be 1/1000 of the mass of the standard kilogram, a platinum-iridium bar carefully guarded by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris for more than a century. (The kilogram, rather than the gram, is considered the base unit of mass in the SI.) The gram is a small mass, equal to about 15.432 grains or 0.035 273 966 ounce. The original French spelling gramme is sometimes used. Note: The only correct symbol for the gram is g. The abbreviations "gm" and (worse) "gr" should never be used.
