Kilogram (kg) — the SI base unit of mass
It is defined by fixing the Planck constant at exactly 6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ J·s; together with the definitions of the meter and second, this sets the kilogram. Used worldwide for measuring mass in science, engineering, commerce, medicine, food, shipping, and everyday life.
- Symbol: kg
- System: SI base unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 kg = 1000 g = 1,000,000 mg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 kg ≈ 2.20462 lb ≈ 35.27396 oz
- Typical examples: 1 liter of water ~1 kg; a laptop ~1.5 kg; an adult person ~70 kg.
Troy ounce (ozt) — a troy unit of mass for precious metals
It is defined as exactly 480 grains, or one twelfth of a troy pound; since 1 grain = 64.79891 mg exactly, 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g exactly. Used mainly for measuring precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, as well as bullion and coin weights.
- Symbol: ozt, oz t
- System: Troy unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 ozt = 480 gr = 20 dwt = 31.1034768 g
- Metric equivalents: 1 ozt = 31.1034768 g ≈ 0.0311035 kg
- Typical examples: a standard gold bullion coin ~1 ozt; silver rounds are often 1 ozt; precious-metal prices are commonly quoted per troy ounce.
