Ounces and Pounds converted into Grams
Converting ounces (ozs.) and pounds (lbs.) into grams (g)

- Mass is a measure of the amount of material in an object - kg in the SI-system and slugs in the Imperial system
- Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body mass - Newton in the SI-system and pounds in the Imperial system
Note - it is not possible to convert pounds (or ounces) to kg (or grams) without including the force of gravity.
It is a common misconception to convert weight in pounds (ounces) - to kg (grams) as mass as a measure of weight as indicated below.
| Imperial Units (weight) | SI-units (mass) |
| Ounces | grams |
| 1/4 (quarter) | 7 |
| 1/2 (half) | 14 |
| 3/4 (three quarters) | 21 |
| 1 | 28.35 |
| 2 | 57 |
| 3 | 85 |
| 4 (quarter lb) | 113 |

| 26 | 737 |
| 27 | 765 (3/4 kilo) |
| 28 (1 3/4 lbs) | 794 |
| 29 | 822 |
| 30 | 851 |
| 31 | 879 |
| 32 (2 lbs) | 907 |
Mass in kg must be multiplied with acceleration of gravity (9.807 m/s2) to be comparable with weight in pounds.
