How to convert ounces to grams

1 Type the ounces.
2 Read the grams, updating live.
3 Press ⇄ to convert grams back to ounces.

The ounce you almost certainly want is the avoirdupois ounce, used for everything from flour to parcels. Two others exist and both cause trouble. The troy ounce, used only for precious metals, is 31.1 grams — about ten percent heavier, so a gold price quoted per ounce is per troy ounce. And the fluid ounce is a volume, not a weight, so converting fluid ounces to grams is meaningless without knowing what the liquid is: a fluid ounce of water is about 29.6 grams, of honey nearer 42.
