What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to convert weight measurements from the apothecary scruple, a historical unit, to the decigram, a modern metric unit. It is designed to aid in interpreting older medical and pharmaceutical prescriptions by providing accurate conversions to contemporary mass units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in scruples (apothecary) you wish to convert.
  • Select the scruple (apothecary) as the 'from' unit.
  • Choose decigram [dg] as the 'to' unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the result instantly.

Key Features

  • Converts scruples (apothecary) to decigrams quickly and accurately.
  • Browser-based tool accessible without installation.
  • Supports historical and modern weight unit conversions.
  • Useful for pharmaceutical history, archival work, and laboratory settings.

Examples

  • 2 s.ap converts to 25.919564 dg
  • 0.5 s.ap converts to 6.479891 dg

Common Use Cases

  • Translating historical medical prescriptions into modern metric units.
  • Converting archival pharmaceutical or botanical formulas for analysis.
