Here is a easy conversion tool also!

Just use google. In the google search box, type something like "1 troy ounce in grains" and marvel at the magic.

Also works for currency conversions, i.e. "1 euro in dollars".

Am I missing something or is the Dwt. wrong? I was thinking that a dwt. was 1.555 grams. So the price for dwt. should be higher. Also I like the spreadsheet enough to use it regularly. I wish the $ ammount could be set by the user. Noxx could you post it in excel?

16 Oz = 1 pound
1Kg = 100 gram
mile = 5280 feet

Got ya..... :mrgreen: /I know that this was only misprint/
I am from metric land so I am lost in your oz, dwt and grains. Took me 3 years to start using pound. Mainly in a shops like pound of this half pound of that etc.
1Kg = 1000 gram, or 100 dekagram, or 10 hectograms

I've used metric all my working life, but I also used troy and all the U.S. stuff. Being in the U.S. gold industry, I had to use them all daily. Some work better for some things than for others. I prefer the metric for volume and the U.S. system for distance and weight.

For everyday things, it's hard to break away from what you grew up with. A lot has to do with learned visualization. It's hard for me to visualize kilometers, millimeters, kilograms, centimeters, etc. I find myself converting these to miles, inches or feet, and pounds in my head when I want to visualize them. It's sort of like converting a secondary language to your primary language in your head.

For drawings and layout, I much prefer a ruler that measures in 10ths of an inch, rather than 8ths, 32nds, etc. Having grown up in a cabinet shop, though, I like the 8ths, 32nds, etc. for woodworking.

I have big problems with metric surface area. I can visualize amps/sq.ft., but have problems with amps/sq decimeter
