Seer (Ser)

What is a seer (ser)?

The seer (ser) equals about 933 grams, or eighty tola (close to one kilogram).

Origin of the seer (ser)

From Hindi/Urdu 'ser', a major pre-metric trade weight.

Where it is used

Historical grain, milk, and produce trade across South Asia.

When and where it was developed

Standardized in British India; aligned near 1 kg after metrication.

Avoirdupois

Grain

What is a grain?

The grain (gr) equals 1/7000 of an avoirdupois pound, about 64.8 milligrams.

Origin of the grain

Based on the nominal mass of a single barley grain.

Where it is used

Ammunition and bullet mass, archery, and historical pharmacy.

When and where it was developed

Standardized through the English avoirdupois system and retained in 1959.

Seer (Ser) to Grain conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 seer to gr:
1 × 14400.0021605305 = 14400.0021605305 gr

Example 2 — Convert 100 seer to gr:
100 × 14400.0021605305 = 1440000.2160530505 gr

Real-world example — Sub-meter precision

A 0.001-seer (ser) (1 mm) tolerance equals 1,000 grains — useful for surface-finish specs, where macro-scale dimensions are given in the larger unit but feature roughness in the smaller.

0.001 seer × 14400.0021605305 = 14.4000021605 gr

Real-world example — Macro-to-micro scale comparison

2 seers (ser) of measurement converts to a very large number in grains — useful in materials science when comparing bulk-sample dimensions to feature-level surface specs.

2 seer × 14400.0021605305 = 28800.004321061 gr

Real-world example — Macroscopic to microscopic

One seer (ser) equals a million grains. Optical engineers calculating coherence length compare macro-scale path lengths with micro-scale wavelength differences using exactly this conversion.

1 seer × 14400.0021605305 = 14400.0021605305 gr
