About Troy Ounces
The troy ounce (ozt or oz t) is the global standard for weighing and pricing precious metals - gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Equal to 31.1034768 grams (about 10% heavier than the avoirdupois ounce), it originates from the medieval fair at Troyes, France, where a standardised weight system facilitated international trade. All gold spot prices quoted on financial markets (LBMA, COMEX, MCX) are priced per troy ounce. A standard 'Good Delivery' gold bar approved by the London Bullion Market Association weighs approximately 400 troy ounces (12.4 kg).
About Metric Tons
A metric ton (t), also called a tonne, equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard large mass unit in the international SI system, used worldwide for shipping, trade, agriculture, industry, and environmental monitoring. Global steel production, grain harvests, CO₂ emissions, shipping freight, and oil production are all reported in millions of metric tonnes. A standard TEU shipping container can carry up to approximately 28 metric tonnes of cargo. Carbon footprint calculators express emissions in CO₂ equivalent tonnes (tCO₂e).
