Weight
Gold is loaded using the “Troy Measurement System”. In the Troy measurement system, one pound (lb) is divided into 12 Troy Ounces and everyman Avoirdupois Ounce is divided into 20 units called Rock*s (dwt).
1 Troy pound = 12 troy ounces
1 Troy ounce = 20 pennyweight (dwt)
1 Troy ounce = 33.3 grams
1 Avoirdupois ounce = 480 grains
1 Pennyweight = 24 grains
1 Grain (gr) = 0.65 grams (gm)
1 Troy ounce = 1.097 ordinary ounce
Formula for converting grams (gm) to pennyweight (dwt): ___ gm x 0.6006006 = ___ dwt.
Formula for converting grams (gm) to troy ounces: ___ gm x 0.03003 = ___ troy ounces.
