Convert poundal to teragram
Please provide values below to convert poundal [pdl] to teragram [Tg], or Convert teragram to poundal.
1 pdl = 1.3825e-11 Tg. To convert poundal to teragram, multiply the value by 1.3825e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Tg = 72330138512.1 pdl). 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 pdl = 1.3825e-11 Tg
- 1 Tg = 72330138512.1 pdl
- 10 pdl = 1.3825e-10 Tg
- 100 pdl = 1.38254954376e-09 Tg
How to Convert Poundal to Teragram
1 pdl = 1.38254954376e-11 Tg
Example: convert 15 pdl to Tg:
15 pdl = 15 × 1.38254954376e-11 Tg = 2.07382431564e-10 Tg

Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced in the 19th century as part of the FPS system of units, primarily used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system. It was designed to provide a consistent force unit based on imperial units.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of historical or specialized engineering contexts. It is mainly referenced for educational purposes or in discussions of imperial units, with the SI unit of force (newton) being the standard.
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 poundal in teragram?
1 poundal (pdl) = 1.3825e-11 teragram (Tg).
How do you convert poundal to teragram?
