About Grams
The gram (g) is the basic metric unit of mass, equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. It is universally used in cooking, nutrition, postal services, and scientific measurement. Almost all food packaging worldwide shows nutritional information per 100 g. A US nickel coin weighs exactly 5 g, a teaspoon of sugar about 4 g, and a standard paperclip approximately 1 g. In chemistry, the gram is central to molar mass: one mole of carbon-12 atoms weighs exactly 12 g. Postal rates are typically scaled per gram or per 100 g.
About Troy Pounds
A troy pound (lb t) equals 12 troy ounces or 5,760 grains - approximately 373.24 grams. It is lighter than the common avoirdupois pound (453.59 g) because the troy system divides the pound into 12 ounces rather than 16. Historically used across Europe for trade in precious metals and pharmaceuticals, the troy pound was the legal standard in England from the 15th century until 1878. In the United States, the troy pound was once the official standard for coinage but was abolished for commercial use in 1828.
