What's mass with weight?

In physics, Mass is the amount of material contained in the object, and Weight It's the gravity of the object. While we are accustomed to combining these two concepts in our daily lives, unit unification and precision conversion are essential when transborder trade, scientific experiments or jewellery transactions are conducted. Currently, the world is dominated by systems of metrics that are common to the public, the British and the traditional systems of nations.

Global mainstream weight measurement system

Metric unit: By "kg" (kg)” based. The advantage is that the decimal method is used to make the logic clear (1 ton = 1,000 kg, 1 kg = 1,000 g). This is the official standard of the global scientific community and most countries.
British: It is mainly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. Common units are lb, ounces (oz), graphite (st), etc. 1 pound is defined as 16 ounces.
Traditional units in China: The area of livelihood in our country is still widely used, as in the case of the pound, the dollar and the dollar. Modern Chinese standard regulation 1 pound equals 500 grams.
Jewelry units: Carat is the unit of the precious stones. 1 carat equals 0.2 grams.

Common weight conversion reference

The core scale will help you to adapt quickly to the conversions in life:

1 pound (lb) ≈ 0.4536 kg (kg) (often used for the purchase of imported food or fitness equipment)
1 ounce (oz) ≈ 28.35 g (g) (often used in cosmetics, sauce or Western bakery)
1 pound = 10, 2 = 500 g (General criteria for our market)
1 ton (t) = 1000 kg (for bulk cargo)

Modern evolution of traditional weight units in China

In our history, there was a period of “sixty-two” in conversion (which was also the basis for the phrase “two-two-two”. However, in modern statutory measures, for ease of integration with the system, the uniform provisions are:

1 Lump = 100 kg = 50 kg
1 pound = 10, 2 = 500 g
1 2 = 10 Money = 50 g
