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.
Atomic Mass Unit
One unified atomic mass unit (u) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, about 1.6605E-27 kg.
Introduced to give atomic and molecular masses convenient numerical values.
Atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics and chemistry.
The unified (carbon-12) scale was adopted by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.
Teragram to Atomic Mass Unit conversion formula
The relationship between teragrams and atomic mass unit:
To convert teragrams to atomic mass unit, multiply the value in teragrams by 6.022137e+35. To reverse, multiply atomic mass unit by 1.66054e-36.
