Units explained
Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is the FPS absolute unit of force; its mass-equivalent on this scale is about 0.0141 kg.
Defined in the foot-pound-second absolute system in the late 19th century.
Early 20th-century physics and engineering.
Introduced in the absolute FPS system as an alternative to gravitational units.
Point (1/100 carat)
A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.
A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.
The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.
Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.
