Pennyweight
The pennyweight (pwt) is a unit of weight traditionally used in measuring precious metals and gemstones, equivalent to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.555 grams.
History/Origin
Originating in the medieval period, the pennyweight was used in the troy weight system for weighing gold and silver, especially in the jewelry and precious metals industries. Its use has persisted in certain regions and industries for historical and practical reasons.
Current Use
Today, the pennyweight is primarily used in the jewelry trade and precious metals markets to specify weights of gold, silver, and gemstones, especially in the United States and in contexts where precise measurement of small quantities is required.
Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.
History/Origin
The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
