Units explained
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.
From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).
Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.
The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) equals 0.01 kilogram, or 10 grams.
From the SI prefix 'deka-' (from Greek 'deka', ten).
Widely used in Central and Eastern European cooking and shops (dag/dkg).
Part of the original metric system introduced in 1795.
Teragram to Dekagram conversion formula
The relationship between teragrams and dekagrams:
To convert teragrams to dekagrams, multiply the value in teragrams by 1e+11. To reverse, multiply dekagrams by 1e-11.
How to use this converter
Type a value into the calculator. The result in dekagrams updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Dekagram to Teragram converter for the reverse direction.
Step-by-step: convert teragrams to dekagrams
- Write down the value in teragrams (Tg).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1e+11.
- The product is the equivalent value in dekagrams (dag).
- To reverse, multiply the dekagram value by 1e-11.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 Tg to dag:
1 × 1e+11 = 1e+11 dag
Example 2 — Convert 100 Tg to dag:
100 × 1e+11 = 1e+13 dag
