Units explained
Decigram
A decigram (dg) equals 0.0001 kilogram, or 0.1 gram.
From the SI prefix 'deci-' (from Latin 'decimus', tenth).
Occasional laboratory and pharmacy use.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Point (1/100 carat)
A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.
A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.
The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.
Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.

Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates
A 150-decigram plastic film converts cleanly to points (1/100 carat) — useful for packaging buyers reconciling supplier datasheets across metric and US measurement systems.
150 dg × 50 = 7500 pt
Real-world example — Hair-width scale measurements
A 70-decigram measurement (about the diameter of a human hair) is the kind of value materials engineers regularly express in adjacent micro-scale units like points (1/100 carat) for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.
70 dg × 50 = 3500 pt
Real-world example — Paper and film thicknesses
At the thickness of office paper (roughly 3 decigrams), converting between sub-millimeter units is routine for packaging and printing buyers comparing quotes from metric and US suppliers.
3 dg × 50 = 150 pt
