What are Pound-troy and Poundal

Definition of Pound-troy

The pound-troy, also known as the troy pound, is a unit of mass traditionally used in the troy weight system. It is primarily used for precious metals like gold, silver, and gemstones. One pound-troy is equivalent to approximately 373.24 grams or 12 troy ounces, making it heavier than the avoirdupois pound, which is approximately 453.59 grams.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the imperial unit system. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Mathematically, 1 poundal equals approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI). It aids in the discussion of force without involving the mass directly.
