Convert teragram to poundal
Please provide values below to convert teragram [Tg] to poundal [pdl], or Convert poundal to teragram.
1 Tg = 72330138512.1 pdl. To convert teragram to poundal, multiply the value by 72330138512.1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pdl = 1.3825e-11 Tg). 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 Tg = 72330138512.1 pdl
- 1 pdl = 1.3825e-11 Tg
- 10 Tg = 723301385121 pdl
- 100 Tg = 7.2330e+12 pdl
How to Convert Teragram to Poundal
1 Tg = 72330138512.0989 pdl
Example: convert 15 Tg to pdl:
15 Tg = 15 × 72330138512.0989 pdl = 1084952077681.48 pdl

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.
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.
