Teragram

What is a teragram?

A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.

Origin of the teragram

From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).

Where it is used

Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.

When and where it was developed

The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.

Scientific / Atomic

Proton Mass

What is a proton mass?

The proton rest mass is about 1.6726E-27 kg.

Origin of the proton mass

The mass of the proton, the positively charged nucleon.

Where it is used

Nuclear and particle physics, and chemistry.

When and where it was developed

Quantified after Rutherford identified the proton around 1917-1920.

Teragram to Proton Mass conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between teragrams and proton mass:

1 Tg = 5.978633e+35 mp
1 mp = 1.672623e-36 Tg

To convert teragrams to proton mass, multiply the value in teragrams by 5.978633e+35. To reverse, multiply proton mass by 1.672623e-36.

Type a value into the calculator. The result in proton mass updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Proton Mass to Teragram converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert teragrams to proton mass

  1. Write down the value in teragrams (Tg).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 5.978633e+35.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in proton mass (mp).
  4. To reverse, multiply the proton mass value by 1.672623e-36.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 Tg to mp:
1 × 5.978633e+35 = 5.978633e+35 mp

Example 2 — Convert 100 Tg to mp:
100 × 5.978633e+35 = 5.978633e+37 mp
