MEASURES OF WEIGHT.
10 milligrammes =1 centigramme = -1543 grain.
10 centrigrammes =1 decigramme = 100 milligrammes = 1 -543 grains.
1 0 decigrammes = 1 gramme = 100 centigrammes = 15-432
10 grammes =1 decagramme = 154-323
1 0 decagrammes = 1 hectogramme = i 00 grammes =3 ozs. 227J grains
10 hectogrammes =1 kilogramme = 1000 „ =35 ozs. 87J grains.
FLUID MEASURE
1 cubic centimetre (c.c.) =17 minims.
10 centimetres =1 centilitre =170 ,,
10 „ centilitres =1 decilitre = 100 c.c. =3-52 fl. ozs.
10 „ decilitres =1 litre = 1000 c.c. =35-2 fl. ozs.
The gramme is the unit of weight 1 cubic
; it is the weight of
centimetre of distilled water at its temperature of maximum density,
39-1 Fahrenheit. The kilogramme therefore is the same weight
as a litre of water.
