One pound-troy is equivalent to 12 troy ounces or approximately 373.24 grams.

Definition of GramA gram is a unit of mass in the metric system. It is defined as one thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. Initially established in 1795 as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at the melting point, the gram today is widely used in science, commerce, and everyday life for quantifying small amounts of mass.

| 0.8 lb t | 298.592 g |
| 0.9 lb t | 335.916 g |
| 1 lb t | 373.24 g |
1 lb t = 373.24 g
1 g = 0.00267923 lb t
Example 1:
convert 0.5 lb t to g:
0.5 lb t = 0.5 × 373.24 g = 186.62 g
Example 2:
convert 2 lb t to g:
2 lb t = 2 × 373.24 g = 746.48 g
The Pound-troy or Apothecary system has been in use since the Middle Ages, primarily for weighing precious metals and gemstones. Originating from the troyes market in France, the troy weight system has a standard pound-troy that is lighter than the avoirdupois pound. The history of this unit converges with the development of commerce, alchemy, and science, leading to its standardization in the gram-based metric system.
Understanding the practical utility of the Pound-troy to Gram Converter can enhance its relevance in real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
To convert 0.25 lb t to grams, simply multiply by 373.24:
0.25 lb t = 0.25 × 373.24 g = 93.31 g
Example 2:
For 1.5 lb t to grams:
1.5 lb t = 1.5 × 373.24 g = 559.86 g
