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.
Metric Ton
The metric ton (t) equals exactly 1,000 kilograms; it is also called the tonne.
From 'tun', a large medieval cask; 'metric' distinguishes it from imperial tons.
The global standard for trade, freight, and heavy industry.
Recognized internationally with the spread of the metric system in the late 19th century.
