About these units
Ounce (oz)
The ounce is a unit equal to 1/16 of a pound, or approximately 28.3495 grams, with roots in ancient Roman "uncia"—one-twelfth of a pound. The ounce is used for measuring small masses in cooking, postal services, gemstones (troy ounces), and various consumer goods. Despite not being part of the metric system, the ounce remains a staple in US everyday life, from food packaging to hardware components. Its small size gives it a practical niche where grams might feel too unfamiliar for some audiences. Multiple ounce variants exist historically—avoirdupois, troy, apothecary—but the avoirdupois ounce is now the standard in general commerce. Its endurance reflects the cultural weight of imperial units and the long history of Western measurement systems.
Pound (Troy) (lb t)
The troy pound, equal to 12 troy ounces or 373.2417216 grams, is used almost exclusively in the precious metals trade. Unlike the avoirdupois pound used for everyday goods (16 ounces), the troy pound is optimized for precious materials such as gold, silver, and platinum. This system's origins trace back to medieval trade fairs in Troyes, France, a major commercial hub. Merchants needed a consistent unit to prevent fraud and facilitate international trading, especially for valuable metals. Today, although rarely encountered by the general public, the troy pound remains fundamental in metals pricing, refining, and numismatics. It provides continuity in a highly traditional economic sector where consistency over centuries is crucial.
