100 × 5000 = 500000 pt

Real-world example — Adjacent metric sub-units

One dekagram equals 1,000 points (1/100 carat). Engineers move between these scales constantly: PCB feature sizes in the larger unit, wire-bond diameters in the smaller.

1 dag × 5000 = 5000 pt

Real-world example — Adjacent small-scale precision

One dekagram equals 1,000 points (1/100 carat) — the standard sub-millimeter precision conversion that materials engineers use whenever they switch between bulk material thickness specs (larger unit) and surface-finish characteristics (smaller unit).

1 dag × 5000 = 5000 pt
