Convert Centigrams to Slugs
1 centigram is 6.85e-7 slug. One centigram is exactly 6.85217658568e-7 slugs.
One centigram is 6.8522 × 10^-7 slugs. To convert centigrams to slugs, multiply by 6.8522 × 10^-7; to go the other way, divide by 6.8522 × 10^-7 or multiply by 1.4594 × 10^+6. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. A hundredth of a gram, or ten milligrams.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 44 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert centigrams to slugs? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in centigrams.
- 2.Multiply by 6.8522 × 10^-7 — that is how many slugs fit in one centigram.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 6.8522 × 10^-7, or multiply by 1.4594 × 10^+6.
Worked example: 25 centigrams to slugs
- Formula
- cg × 6.8522 × 10^-7 = slug
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 6.8522 × 10^-7 = 0.00001713 slug
- Answer
- 25 cg = 0.00001713 slug
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a centigram?
A hundredth of a gram, or ten milligrams. It survives mainly in pharmacology and in school exercises about metric prefixes.
What is a slug?
The mass that one pound-force accelerates at one foot per second squared — 32.174 pounds. It exists so that F = ma works in US customary units without a conversion constant, and it is why American engineering statics is not simply pounds.
How many slugs are in a centigram?
One centigram is 6.8522 × 10^-7 slugs. Going the other way, one slug is 1.4594 × 10^+6 centigrams. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
Every weight unit here
The whole group — 15 units with their symbols and the size of each one in kilograms — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a centigram.
