Pennyweight (dwt) — a troy unit of mass for precious metals
It is defined as exactly 24 grains, or one twentieth of a troy ounce. Used mainly for measuring precious metals, jewelry, gemstones, dental alloys, and historical coin or bullion weights.
- Symbol: dwt
- System: Troy unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 dwt = 24 gr = 1/20 oz t = 1.55517384 g
- Metric equivalents: 1 dwt = 1.55517384 g ≈ 0.00155517 kg
- Typical examples: small gold jewelry may weigh a few dwt; precious-metal scrap is often priced per dwt; 20 dwt equals 1 troy ounce.
Metric ton (t) — a metric unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms
It is defined as exactly 1000 kilograms; the metric ton is also called the tonne. Used worldwide for measuring large masses in shipping, industry, agriculture, construction, freight, commodities, and vehicle weights.
- Symbol: t
- System: Non-SI unit accepted for use with SI; equal to 1000 kilograms
- Exact relations: 1 t = 1000 kg = 1,000,000 g = 1,000,000,000 mg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 t ≈ 2204.62 lb ≈ 1.10231 US short tons ≈ 0.984207 UK long tons
- Typical examples: a small car ~1.5 t; a shipping container load can be tens of t; bulk grain or cement often measured in t.
