Convert kilogram to dekagram
Please provide values below to convert kilogram [kg] to dekagram [dag], or Convert dekagram to kilogram.
1 kg = 100 dag. To convert kilogram to dekagram, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dag = 0.01 kg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kg = 100 dag
- 1 dag = 0.01 kg
- 10 kg = 1000 dag
- 100 kg = 10000 dag
How to Convert Kilogram to Dekagram
1 kg = 100 dag
Example: convert 15 kg to dag:
15 kg = 15 × 100 dag = 1500 dag

Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram, a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
History/Origin
The kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water. It was later represented by a platinum standard in 1875, known as the International Prototype Kilogram, which served as the global standard until 2019.
Current Use
Today, the kilogram is defined by the Planck constant, fixed at exactly 6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ joule seconds, ensuring greater precision and stability in measurements worldwide. It is widely used in science, industry, and commerce for measuring mass.
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) is a unit of mass equal to ten grams.
History/Origin
The dekagram was introduced as part of the metric system to simplify conversions within the metric units of mass, particularly in the context of grams and kilograms, and has been used primarily in countries adopting the metric system since the 19th century.
Current Use
Dekagrams are used in various fields such as cooking, jewelry, and scientific measurements, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, although grams and kilograms are more commonly used globally.
