Mass (units)

This is a converter for units of mass. In the U. S. A. the avoirdupois-system is still in use (U. S. customary units). Units larger than pound differ in this system from the units with the same name that are still used in the United Kingdom. (Imperial units).
Only the troy ounce (oz t) from the troy-system is in use today as the common mass unit in the trade with precious metalls. The carat is a mass unit in the trade with jewels.

Usage of the converter for mass units:
Type the known value into the field in front of the corresponding unit. After a mouseclick on any free space of the window or on the "calculate" button the calculation is performed. Read the result.
Move the mouse over a unit or click on it to read its full name. For another calculation just change the input value or you may click the "reset" button, eventually.

Example: You want to convert 5 kg into pounds. Type "5" into the field in front of "kg". After a mouseclick on any free space of the window or on the "calculate" button you can read the result (11.023 lb).
