About the Weight Converter
Weight conversions are needed across cooking (grams to cups), science (kilograms to pounds), international shipping (kg vs lb for package limits), and healthcare (body weight in different regions). India uses kilograms officially but recipes from international sources often use pounds and ounces, and commodity trading uses tonnes. This converter handles all common weight units instantly.
Weight Conversion Reference
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams = 2.205 pounds · 1 pound = 453.6 grams = 16 ounces · 1 metric tonne = 1,000 kg
1 troy ounce (gold) = 31.1 grams · 1 stone (UK) = 14 pounds = 6.35 kg · Traditional Indian: 1 tola = 11.66 grams (used in gold) · 1 maund = 37.32 kg (varies by region)
Worked Example
International recipe calls for 2.5 cups butter, package in grams
2.5 cups × 227g = 567.5 grams · = 1.25 pounds · = 20 ounces
Tips & Insights
- 1
Gold in India is sold in grams but many ornaments quote weight in tolas (1 tola = 10 grams in common modern usage, though technically 11.66g).
- 2
Aviation and shipping use kilograms universally - always convert body weight and luggage to kg for international travel.
- 3
Agricultural commodity prices in India are quoted per quintal (100 kg) or per tonne - convert for meaningful comparison.
Why this matters for you
International commerce, travel, and cooking all require accurate weight conversion. A medication dosage error from confusing mg and g, or an import shipment cost miscalculation from kg-to-lb confusion, can have serious consequences. Instant, reliable weight conversion is a fundamental utility for any globally connected person.
