Units explained
Grain
The grain (gr) equals 1/7000 of an avoirdupois pound, about 64.8 milligrams.
Based on the nominal mass of a single barley grain.
Ammunition and bullet mass, archery, and historical pharmacy.
Standardized through the English avoirdupois system and retained in 1959.
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass is about 3.344E-27 kg.
The mass of the deuteron, the nucleus of deuterium (one proton and one neutron).
Nuclear physics and fusion-energy research.
Established with the discovery of deuterium by Harold Urey in 1931.
Grain to Deuteron Mass 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 grains and deuteron mass:
To convert grains to deuteron mass, multiply the value in grains by 1.938006e+22. To reverse, multiply deuteron mass by 5.159943e-23.

Step-by-step: convert grains to deuteron mass
- Write down the value in grains (gr).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1.938006e+22.
- The product is the equivalent value in deuteron mass (md).
- To reverse, multiply the deuteron mass value by 5.159943e-23.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 gr to md:
1 × 1.938006e+22 = 1.938006e+22 md
Example 2 — Convert 100 gr to md:
100 × 1.938006e+22 = 1.938006e+24 md
Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping
A 10-grain thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in deuteron mass, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.
10 gr × 1.938006e+22 = 1.938006e+23 md
Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer
3 grains equals 3,000 deuteron mass — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.
3 gr × 1.938006e+22 = 5.814018e+22 md
Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features
One grain equals one thousand deuteron mass — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.
1 gr × 1.938006e+22 = 1.938006e+22 md
