Who It's For

The Right Conversion for Every Context

Mass units vary widely by field — cooking uses oz and g, science uses mg, freight uses tonnes, jewellery uses troy ounces

Kitchen & Cooking

oz → g
1 oz = 28.35 g

US recipes list butter, flour, chocolate in ounces (oz); EU recipes use grams (g). Convert instantly for any ingredient.

4 oz = 113.4 g
8 oz = 226.8 g
16 oz = 453.6 g

Gold, Silver & Jewellery

troy oz → g
1 troy oz = 31.10 g

Precious metals use troy ounces (troy oz), not regular ounces. A troy ounce is ~10% heavier than an avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g).

0.5 troy oz = 15.55 g
1 troy oz = 31.10 g
10 troy oz = 311.0 g

Science & Medicine

mg → g
1000 mg = 1 g

Drug dosages, vitamin labels, and lab measurements use milligrams (mg). Convert to grams (g) or micrograms (µg) for calculations.

250 mg = 0.25 g
500 mg = 0.5 g
1,000 mg = 1 g

Freight & Engineering

kg → t
1,000 kg = 1 tonne

Metric tonnes (t) are used in shipping, construction, and cargo. One metric ton equals 1,000 kilograms (kg) or 2,204.6 pounds (lb).

500 kg = 0.5 t
1,000 kg = 1 t
5,000 kg = 5 t

Real-World Scale

What Does a Mass Actually Look Like?

Anchor abstract unit values to familiar everyday objects — helps verify your conversion makes sense

A grain of rice

~25–30 mg

A paperclip

~1 g

A teaspoon of water

A tennis ball

~58 g

A can of soda

FAQ

Answers to the Most Searched Mass Conversion Questions

Covering kg, lb, g, oz, mg, stone, tonne, troy ounce — with exact formulas and worked examples

Core Conversions

Enter your kilogram (kg) value, select kg as the source unit — the pound (lb) result appears instantly. Formula: kg × 2.20462 = lb. Example: 70 kg = 154.32 lb. Copy the result with one tap. The exact factor is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262185 pounds.

Exactly 1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g). This is a fixed metric definition — no rounding. In reverse: 1 g = 0.001 kg. Common references: 500 g = 0.5 kg; 250 g = 0.25 kg. The gram (g) and kilogram (kg) are both SI units, separated by a factor of 1,000.

Pounds to kilograms: lb ÷ 2.20462 = kg. Example: 180 lb = 81.65 kg. Kilograms to pounds: kg × 2.20462 = lb. Example: 65 kg = 143.3 lb. The converter handles both directions simultaneously — type in either unit and see all outputs update together.

Exactly 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz). In reverse: 1 oz = 0.0625 lb. In metric: 1 lb = 453.592 grams (g); 1 oz = 28.3495 g. Note: this applies to avoirdupois ounces used in everyday weight — distinct from troy ounces (31.10 g) used for precious metals.

mg to grams: mg ÷ 1,000 = g. Example: 500 mg = 0.5 g. Grams to mg: g × 1,000 = mg. Example: 2.5 g = 2,500 mg. The prefix "milli-" means one-thousandth — so milligram (mg) is one-thousandth of a gram. Commonly used for medications, vitamins, and laboratory quantities.

1 metric tonne (t) = 1,000 kilograms (kg). In pounds: 1 tonne = 2,204.62 lb. Note the distinction: a metric tonne (t) = 1,000 kg; a US short ton = 907.18 kg; a UK long ton = 1,016.05 kg. When someone says "ton" in everyday international contexts, they usually mean the metric tonne.

Ounces (oz) to grams (g): oz × 28.3495 = g. Example: 4 oz = 113.4 g. Grams to ounces: g ÷ 28.3495 = oz. Example: 200 g = 7.055 oz. This conversion is common in cooking — US recipes use oz while European and UK recipes often use grams (g).

UntangleTools Mass Converter supports: milligram (mg), gram (g), kilogram (kg), ounce (oz), pound (lb), stone (st), metric tonne (t), and troy ounce. Type any value, select the source unit, and every other unit's equivalent appears at once. One-click copy per result. Free, no login, works on mobile and desktop.

Pounds to stone: lb ÷ 14 = st. Example: 168 lb = 12 stone. Stone to kg: st × 6.35029 = kg. Example: 11 st = 69.85 kg. Stone (st) is a unit primarily used in the UK and Ireland for body weight — 1 stone = 14 pounds (lb) = 6.35 kilograms (kg).

1 avoirdupois ounce (oz) = 28.3495 grams (g) — the standard ounce used in food, body weight, and everyday measurement. Note: 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams — used exclusively for precious metals (gold, silver, platinum). Always confirm which ounce type is meant before converting jewellery or bullion weights.

Kitchen, Science & Projects

Multiply kilograms by 1,000: kg × 1,000 = g. Examples: 1.5 kg = 1,500 g; 0.25 kg = 250 g; 3 kg = 3,000 g. In reverse: g ÷ 1,000 = kg. This is a pure metric-system rule — the prefix "kilo-" always means one thousand. No rounding, no approximation needed.

500 mg = 0.5 g. 250 mg = 0.25 g. Formula: mg ÷ 1,000 = g. More references: 100 mg = 0.1 g; 1,000 mg = 1 g; 2,500 mg = 2.5 g. In pounds and ounces: 500 mg ≈ 0.0176 oz ≈ 0.0011 lb. Common context: a standard vitamin C tablet is 500 mg = 0.5 grams (g).

Divide pounds by 2.20462: lb ÷ 2.20462 = kg. Practical examples: 1 lb = 0.454 kg; 2 lb = 0.907 kg; 5 lb = 2.268 kg. For US recipe-to-metric conversion: 1 lb flour ≈ 453 g; 1 lb butter = 454 g. The converter outputs kg, grams (g), and all other units simultaneously so you can see all relevant values at once.

UntangleTools Mass Converter is built for both. For students: instant kg↔g, mg↔g, lb↔kg with the formula visible in the FAQ.

Ideal for kitchen conversions between oz, grams (g), and kg while cooking.

Advanced & Unique Questions

Mass is the amount of matter in an object — measured in kilograms (kg), grams (g), or pounds (lb) — and is constant everywhere in the universe. Weight is the force gravity exerts on that mass — measured in Newtons (N). In everyday language, "weight" and "mass" are used interchangeably, and scales measure mass. On the Moon, your mass in kg stays the same, but your weight (in N) is about 1/6th of what it is on Earth.

Grams (g) measure mass; cups measure volume — so the conversion depends on the ingredient's density. Example: 1 cup of water = 240 g; 1 cup of flour = ~120–130 g; 1 cup of sugar = ~200 g; 1 cup of butter = ~227 g. There is no single universal g-to-cup formula. For precise baking, always weigh ingredients in grams (g) — this converter handles the mass side. For cup-to-gram tables by ingredient, see our dedicated cooking converter.

Multiply troy ounces by 31.1035: troy oz × 31.1035 = g. Examples: 1 troy oz = 31.10 g; 0.5 troy oz = 15.55 g; 10 troy oz = 311.0 g. Important: the troy ounce ≠ avoirdupois ounce. A regular oz = 28.35 g; a troy oz = 31.10 g (~9.7% heavier). All gold, silver, and platinum spot prices are quoted per troy ounce. This converter includes troy ounce as a selectable unit.

Because mass is mass — 1 kilogram (kg) is always 1 kilogram regardless of the material. The old riddle tricks people into confusing mass with volume or density. 1 kg of feathers and 1 kg of iron both exert the same gravitational pull on a scale. The feathers just take up far more space (lower density). Density = mass ÷ volume — the kg value stays constant; only the volume differs.

Currently the tool covers the most-used everyday and industrial units: mg, g, kg, oz (avoirdupois), lb, stone (st), metric tonne (t), and troy ounce. For reference: 1 carat = 0.2 grams (g) exactly (gemstone standard). Atomic mass unit (u or Da): 1 u = 1.66054 × 10⁻²⁷ kg.
