Microgram (µg) is a unit in the category of Mass. It is also known as micrograms. This unit is commonly used in the SI unit system. Microgram (µg) has a dimension of M where M is mass. It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit kg by multiplying its value by a factor of 1E-009.

Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).
