Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (dram) The dram is a unit of weight in the traditional avoirdupois system, equal to 1/16 ounce or 1/256 pound. One dram equals about 1.7718 gram. The word dram comes from a Latin weight unit, the dragma, and derives ultimately from the Greek drachme, meaning a handful. The word is usually spelled "drachm" in Britain and "dram" in the United States, but both spellings are pronounced "dram." The avoirdupois dram is sometimes abbreviated dr. av. to distinguish it from the apothecaries' dram. Unit Definition (keg [nails]) The keg [nails] is a traditional unit of weight for nails. A keg of nails weighs 100 pounds and thus has a mass of about 45.359 kilograms.
