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.
Ratti
The ratti equals about 0.1215 gram, the smallest traditional South Asian weight.
Based on the seed of the Gunja plant (Abrus precatorius), or 'raktika' in Sanskrit.
Gemstones and gold in Indian and South Asian jewelry.
One of the oldest weight units of the Indian subcontinent, later standardized.

Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates
A 150-decigram plastic film converts cleanly to rattis — useful for packaging buyers reconciling supplier datasheets across metric and US measurement systems.
150 dg × 0.8230452675 = 123.4567901235 ratti
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 rattis for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.
70 dg × 0.8230452675 = 57.6131687243 ratti
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 × 0.8230452675 = 2.4691358025 ratti
