About the gram and the grain

The gram

The gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram. It is the everyday unit for food labeling, postage, jewelry, and laboratory measurements. The 2019 SI redefinition fixed the kilogram (and therefore the gram) in terms of Planck's constant, ending more than a century of dependence on a physical prototype.

The grain

The grain (gr) equals exactly 64.79891 milligrams — historically the weight of a single grain of barley, and the common base unit underlying both the avoirdupois and troy weight systems (7,000 grains = 1 avoirdupois pound). It survives today in ammunition (bullet and gunpowder charge weights) and archery (arrow and bow draw-weight specs).
