Convert picogram to poundal
Please provide values below to convert picogram [pg] to poundal [pdl], or Convert poundal to picogram.
1 pg = 7.2330e-14 pdl. To convert picogram to poundal, multiply the value by 7.2330e-14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pdl = 1.3825e+13 pg). 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 pg = 7.2330e-14 pdl
- 1 pdl = 1.3825e+13 pg
- 10 pg = 7.2330e-13 pdl
- 100 pg = 7.2330e-12 pdl
How to Convert Picogram to Poundal
1 pg = 7.23301385120989e-14 pdl
Example: convert 15 pg to pdl:
15 pg = 15 × 7.23301385120989e-14 pdl = 1.08495207768148e-12 pdl

Picogram
A picogram (pg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a gram.
History/Origin
The picogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small masses, especially in scientific and laboratory contexts, as a subdivision of the gram in the SI unit system.
Current Use
Picograms are used in scientific fields such as biology, chemistry, and physics to measure very small quantities of substances, including DNA, proteins, and other microscopic materials.
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.
