Units explained
Troy Ounce
The troy ounce (ozt) equals about 31.103 grams, one-twelfth of a troy pound.
From the Troy system of weights associated with Troyes, France.
The global standard for pricing gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
Established in the medieval Troy system and retained for precious metals.
Atomic Mass Unit
One unified atomic mass unit (u) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, about 1.6605E-27 kg.
Introduced to give atomic and molecular masses convenient numerical values.
Atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics and chemistry.
The unified (carbon-12) scale was adopted by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.
