Nanogram

What is a nanogram?

A nanogram (ng) equals 10^-12 kilogram.

Origin of the nanogram

From the SI prefix 'nano-' (from Greek 'nanos', dwarf).

Where it is used

Molecular biology, forensics, and toxicology.

When and where it was developed

The nano- prefix entered the SI in 1960.

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.

Nanogram 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 nanograms and tolas:

1 ng = 8.573532e-11 tola
1 tola = 1.16638e+10 ng

To convert nanograms to tolas, multiply the value in nanograms by 8.573532e-11. To reverse, multiply tolas by 1.16638e+10.

Step-by-step: convert nanograms to tolas

  1. Write down the value in nanograms (ng).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 8.573532e-11.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in tolas (tola).
  4. To reverse, multiply the tola value by 1.16638e+10.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 ng to tola:
1 × 8.573532e-11 = 8.573532e-11 tola

Example 2 — Convert 100 ng to tola:
100 × 8.573532e-11 = 8.573532e-9 tola

Real-world example — Sub-micron to millimeter

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

500000 ng × 8.573532e-11 = 4.286766e-5 tola

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

A value of one million nanograms 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 ng × 8.573532e-11 = 8.573532e-5 tola
