Grain

What is a grain?

The grain (gr) equals 1/7000 of an avoirdupois pound, about 64.8 milligrams.

Origin of the grain

Based on the nominal mass of a single barley grain.

Where it is used

Ammunition and bullet mass, archery, and historical pharmacy.

When and where it was developed

Standardized through the English avoirdupois system and retained in 1959.

Indian / South Asian

Seer (Ser)

What is a seer (ser)?

The seer (ser) equals about 933 grams, or eighty tola (close to one kilogram).

Origin of the seer (ser)

From Hindi/Urdu 'ser', a major pre-metric trade weight.

Where it is used

Historical grain, milk, and produce trade across South Asia.

When and where it was developed

Standardized in British India; aligned near 1 kg after metrication.

Grain to Seer (Ser) 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 seers (ser):

1 gr = 6.944443e-5 seer
1 seer = 14400.0021605305 gr

To convert grains to seers (ser), multiply the value in grains by 6.944443e-5. To reverse, multiply seers (ser) by 14400.0021605305.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in seers (ser) updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Seer (Ser) to Grain converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert grains to seers (ser)

  1. Write down the value in grains (gr).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 6.944443e-5.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in seers (ser) (seer).
  4. To reverse, multiply the seer (ser) value by 14400.0021605305.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 gr to seer:
1 × 6.944443e-5 = 6.944443e-5 seer

Example 2 — Convert 100 gr to seer:
100 × 6.944443e-5 = 0.0069444434 seer

Real-world example — From microscopic to macroscopic

A million grains equals exactly one seer (ser). This kind of conversion appears in microfluidics, where total channel length is given in seers (ser) but feature widths are in grains.

1000000 gr × 6.944443e-5 = 69.4444340252 seer

Real-world example — Macro-scale buildup

A million grains equals exactly one seer (ser) — the conversion that bridges microscale features and macroscale objects in microfluidic, biomedical, and semiconductor packaging design.

1000000 gr × 6.944443e-5 = 69.4444340252 seer

Real-world example — Quarter-meter measurement reference

A 250,000-grain length equals 0.25 seers (ser) — useful for comparing supply-chain spec sheets where some lengths are quoted in the smaller unit and some in the larger.

250000 gr × 6.944443e-5 = 17.3611085063 seer
