Femtogram

What is a femtogram?

A femtogram (fg) equals 10^-18 kilogram.

Origin of the femtogram

From the SI prefix 'femto-' (from Danish/Norwegian 'femten', fifteen).

Where it is used

Nanotechnology and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry.

When and where it was developed

The femto- prefix was adopted by the CGPM in 1975.

Indian / South Asian

Tola

What is a tola?

The tola equals 180 troy grains, about 11.6638 grams (three-eighths of a troy ounce).

Origin of the tola

From Sanskrit 'tula', meaning a balance or weighing.

Where it is used

The primary unit for gold and silver across India, Pakistan, and Nepal.

When and where it was developed

Fixed at 180 grains under British India in 1833.

Femtogram to Tola conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between femtograms and tolas:

1 fg = 8.573532e-17 tola
1 tola = 1.16638e+16 fg

To convert femtograms to tolas, multiply the value in femtograms by 8.573532e-17. To reverse, multiply tolas by 1.16638e+16.

Step-by-step: convert femtograms to tolas

  1. Write down the value in femtograms (fg).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 8.573532e-17.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in tolas (tola).
  4. To reverse, multiply the tola value by 1.16638e+16.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 fg to tola:
1 × 8.573532e-17 = 8.573532e-17 tola

Example 2 — Convert 100 fg to tola:
100 × 8.573532e-17 = 8.573532e-15 tola

Real-world example — Sub-micron to millimeter

500,000 femtograms converts to a small everyday quantity in tolas — useful when relating optical-wavelength specifications to physical mounting hardware.

500000 fg × 8.573532e-17 = 4.286766e-11 tola

Real-world example — From wavelengths to millimeter-scale objects

A value of one million femtograms sounds vast at the atomic scale but converts to a small everyday quantity in tolas — useful when relating optical-wavelength specifications to physical mounting hardware.

1000000 fg × 8.573532e-17 = 8.573532e-11 tola
