History behind the term 'Pt'


1811

Discovery of platinum

Platinum, a dense, malleable, and precious metal, was discovered by British chemist William Hyde Wollaston in 1803, but it wasn't until 1811 that he named it 'platinum'. The word 'platinum' has its origins in the Spanish term 'platina', meaning 'little silver'. This choice of name reflects the metal's resemblance to silver, which attracted early explorers' attention. Platinum's rarity and durability made it highly esteemed in various industries, particularly in jewelry-making and coinage.


1600s

Introduction of the term 'troy'

The term 'troy' used to measure precious metals, like platinum, can be traced back to the late Middle Ages. In the 1600s, 'troy weight' became the standard system for weighing gold and silver. The name 'troy' originates from the French town of Troyes, a major trading center during that time. Troyes was known for its exceptional quality of weights and measures, and thus, the weight system gained prominence with the name 'troy' attached to it.


1796

Linguistic evolution: 'platinum troy'

As the use of platinum gained popularity, the term 'platinum troy' emerged to specifically refer to measuring the weight of platinum using the troy system. This terminology helped distinguish the measurement of platinum from other metals or commodities. 'Platinum troy' became recognized as the standardized method for weighing platinum, preserving the metal's special status and ensuring accuracy in trade and commerce.



1921

Abbreviation: 'pt'

In 1921, the International Convention of Weights and Measures adopted the abbreviation 'pt' to represent platinum in the metric system. The abbreviation 'pt' derived from the first two letters of the word 'platinum.' This standardized abbreviation simplified the representation of platinum in scientific and commercial contexts, ensuring consistency worldwide. It became widely used in chemical formulas, jewelry markings, and other fields where platinum is referenced.
