Units explained
Masha
The masha equals about 0.972 gram, or eight ratti.
A traditional Indian mass unit in the ratti-masha-tola chain.
Small jewelry and gemstone weights in South Asia.
Part of the ancient Indian weight system dating to the Indus Valley era.
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) equals 10^15 kilograms, or one quintillion grams.
From the SI prefix 'exa-' (from Greek 'hex', six, denoting the sixth power of 1000).
Confined to planetary- and atmospheric-scale mass discussions; never used in daily measurement.
The exa- prefix was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975.
Masha to Exagram conversion formula
Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates
A 150-masha plastic film converts cleanly to exagrams — useful for packaging buyers reconciling supplier datasheets across metric and US measurement systems.
150 masha × 9.719837e-19 = 1.457976e-16 Eg
Real-world example — Hair-width scale measurements
A 70-masha measurement (about the diameter of a human hair) is the kind of value materials engineers regularly express in adjacent micro-scale units like exagrams for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.
70 masha × 9.719837e-19 = 6.803886e-17 Eg
Real-world example — Paper and film thicknesses
At the thickness of office paper (roughly 3 mashas), converting between sub-millimeter units is routine for packaging and printing buyers comparing quotes from metric and US suppliers.
3 masha × 9.719837e-19 = 2.915951e-18 Eg
