A dalton is a unit of mass equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, used mainly to express atomic and molecular masses.

What was the mina (Biblical Hebrew) used for?

The mina was an ancient unit of mass for weighing precious metals and large goods in the Near East, recorded in Biblical Hebrew texts.

Why is the conversion factor between dalton and mina so small?

Because dalton measures atomic scale mass, while mina was used for much larger quantities, making the conversion factor very tiny.

Common Use Cases

Relating atomic and molecular weight data to ancient weight units in interdisciplinary studies
Interpreting Biblical and Near Eastern texts mentioning weights of silver, gold, or tribute
Supporting archaeological and metrological comparison of excavated metal weights and historical standards
Estimating the mass and value of historical metal objects in numismatics and conservation research

Tips & Best Practices

Use the tool primarily for academic, archaeological, or historical contexts due to its specialized nature
Verify the context of ancient mina usage as its mass standard varied by region and period
Combine conversion results with qualitative historical data for more meaningful interpretations
Keep in mind the very small conversion factor when comparing dalton masses to mina

Limitations

Mina (Biblical Hebrew) had regional and temporal variations in mass standards, so conversions are approximate
Dalton and mina represent vastly different scales of mass, limiting practical comparison outside academic disciplines
The conversion factor is extremely small, reflecting the atomic scale of the dalton against the larger mina
