Units explained

Indian / South Asian

Ratti

What is a ratti?

The ratti equals about 0.1215 gram, the smallest traditional South Asian weight.

Origin of the ratti

Based on the seed of the Gunja plant (Abrus precatorius), or 'raktika' in Sanskrit.

Where it is used

Gemstones and gold in Indian and South Asian jewelry.

When and where it was developed

One of the oldest weight units of the Indian subcontinent, later standardized.

Metric / SI

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.

Ratti to Nanogram 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 rattis and nanograms:

1 ratti = 1.215e+8 ng
1 ng = 8.230453e-9 ratti

To convert rattis to nanograms, multiply the value in rattis by 1.215e+8. To reverse, multiply nanograms by 8.230453e-9.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in nanograms updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Nanogram to Ratti converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert rattis to nanograms

  1. Write down the value in rattis (ratti).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 1.215e+8.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in nanograms (ng).
  4. To reverse, multiply the nanogram value by 8.230453e-9.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 ratti to ng:
1 × 1.215e+8 = 1.215e+8 ng

Example 2 — Convert 100 ratti to ng:
100 × 1.215e+8 = 1.215e+10 ng

Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping

A 10-ratti thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in nanograms, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.

10 ratti × 1.215e+8 = 1.215e+9 ng

Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer

3 rattis equals 3,000 nanograms — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.

3 ratti × 1.215e+8 = 3.645e+8 ng

Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features

One ratti equals one thousand nanograms — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.

1 ratti × 1.215e+8 = 1.215e+8 ng
