The pound-troy, also known simply as the troy pound, is a unit of mass that originated in the troy system of weights. It is primarily used for precious metals like gold, silver, and gemstones. One pound-troy is equivalent to 12 troy ounces or approximately 0.3732417216 kilograms. The troy pound was historically used in many parts of Europe and is still used today for these specific commodities.
Definition of Kilogram-forceKilogram-force is a unit of force that is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is commonly used in some contexts. It is the gravitational force exerted by a one kilogram mass in standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). Thus, a kilogram-force equals 9.80665 newtons, the SI unit of force. It is sometimes used to express thrust, engine power output, and the strength of materials in engineering and physics.
