Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (electronvolt) The electronvolt is a unit of mass used in particle physics. Mass and energy are related by Einstein's famous equation, E = mc2. The constant c is the speed of light, 299.79 x 10E6 m/sec. An energy of 1 electronvolt is therefore equivalent to a mass of about 1.782 662 x 10E-33 gram, or about 1.073 544 x 10E-9 atomic mass unit. Unit Definition (tan [China]) The tan is a traditional Chinese weight unit, now spelled dan in English transliteration. During the European colonial era the tan was equal to 100 cattys or 1600 taels. This is equivalent to 133.333 pounds, making the tan comparable to the European quintal as a commercial weight unit. In modern China the tan, or rather the dan, is equal to 100 jin, which is exactly 50 kilograms (110.231 pounds).
