A centigram (cg) equals 0.00001 kilogram, or 0.01 gram.
From the SI prefix 'centi-' (from Latin 'centum', hundred).
Used in pharmacology and analytical chemistry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Masha
The masha equals about 0.972 gram, or eight ratti.
A traditional Indian mass unit in the ratti-masha-tola chain.
Small jewelry and gemstone weights in South Asia.
Part of the ancient Indian weight system dating to the Indus Valley era.

Real-world example — Hair-width scale measurements
A 70-centigram measurement (about the diameter of a human hair) is the kind of value materials engineers regularly express in adjacent micro-scale units like mashas for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.
70 cg × 0.0102882384 = 0.7201766861 masha
Real-world example — Paper and film thicknesses
At the thickness of office paper (roughly 3 centigrams), converting between sub-millimeter units is routine for packaging and printing buyers comparing quotes from metric and US suppliers.
3 cg × 0.0102882384 = 0.0308647151 masha
Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates
A 150-centigram plastic film converts cleanly to mashas — useful for packaging buyers reconciling supplier datasheets across metric and US measurement systems.
150 cg × 0.0102882384 = 1.5432357559 masha
