Unit Definition (milligram)
The milligram is a very common metric unit of mass equal to 0.001 gram or 1000 micrograms (µg or mcg). One milligram equals approximately 0.015432 grain or 35.274 x 10E-6 ounce.

Unit Definition (ton [metric])
The ton is a traditional unit of weight equal to 20 hundredweight. In the United States and Canada, there are 100 pounds in the hundredweight and exactly 2000 pounds (907.185 kilograms) in the ton. In Britain, there are 112 pounds in the hundredweight and 2240 pounds (1016.047 kilograms) in the ton. To distinguish between the two units, the British ton is called the long ton and the American one is the short ton. In old England, a "tun" was a large cask used to store wine. Because these tuns were of standard size, more or less, the tun came to represent both a volume unit, indicating the capacity of a cask, and also a weight unit, indicating the weight of a cask when it was full.
