What is Troy ounce ?

A Troy ounce (oz t) is a unit of weight measurement primarily used in the precious metals industry, such as for gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals. It is different from the standard (avoirdupois) ounce commonly used in everyday contexts. One troy ounce is equivalent to approximately 31.1035 grams.

To clarify:
- 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams
- 1 gram ≈ 0.03215 troy ounces

In everyday terms, a troy ounce represents a slightly larger amount of weight compared to a standard ounce. For example, a typical gold coin or bar might weigh about 1 troy ounce.

Troy ounces are used in the international market for precious metals and are crucial for pricing and trading these commodities. They are also used in jewelry making, where the weight of precious metals determines their value. The troy ounce measurement system dates back centuries and is based on historical trading practices of precious metals.

Understanding troy ounces is important for investors, jewelers, and professionals in the precious metals industry. It ensures accurate measurement and pricing of precious metals, facilitating fair trade and transactions globally. While troy ounces are not commonly used in everyday transactions outside the precious metals industry, they play a vital role in international commerce and finance related to precious metals.


What is Long ton ?

A Long ton is a unit of weight measurement primarily used in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. It is equivalent to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms. The long ton is also known as the imperial ton or the British ton.

To break it down:
- 1 long ton = 2,240 pounds
- 1 pound = 0.00045359237 metric tons

In simpler terms, a long ton is slightly heavier than a metric ton (tonne), which is commonly used in most other parts of the world. For example, a long ton is approximately equal to 1.016 metric tons.

Long tons are typically used in industries such as shipping, mining, and agriculture, particularly in the United Kingdom and countries that were formerly part of the British Empire. They provide a specific and recognized unit of weight for measuring large quantities of goods, particularly bulk commodities like coal, iron ore, and grains.

Understanding long tons is important for international trade and shipping, as different countries may use varying units of measurement. It helps ensure accuracy in transactions and logistics operations, particularly when dealing with goods that are traded globally and require precise measurement in tons.
