About Weight Converter
The Weight Converter is a free, browser-based unit conversion tool that handles 10 different weight units simultaneously: milligram (mg), gram (g), kilogram (kg), metric ton (t), ounce (oz), pound (lb), carat (ct), and the three traditional Korean units — geun (斤, 600 g), don (錢, 3.75 g), and nyang (兩, 37.5 g). All conversions are performed via a common gram baseline: each unit has a precise "to gram" factor, and the input value is converted to grams first, then divided by the target unit's gram factor to produce the result.
The tool features a primary conversion mode where you select a source unit and a destination unit for the main result, plus a complete "Full Conversion Table" that displays the equivalent value in every supported unit at the same time. A swap button lets you instantly reverse the conversion direction without re-entering values. This makes it useful not just for simple two-unit conversions, but for understanding a weight value across the full spectrum of measurement systems — SI metric, imperial, jewelry (carat), and Korean traditional.
This converter is useful for a wide range of users: cooks converting between grams and ounces, jewelers working with carats, international shippers dealing with kilograms and pounds, Korean traditional market traders using geun and don, nutritionists tracking milligram-level micronutrients, and students studying the relationships between measurement systems. All calculation happens client-side in the browser with no data transmission to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which weight units does this converter support?
The converter supports 10 units: milligram (mg), gram (g), kilogram (kg), metric ton (t), ounce (oz), pound (lb), carat (ct), and the three Korean traditional units: geun (斤 = 600 g), don (錢 = 3.75 g), and nyang (兩 = 37.5 g). All conversions use an intermediate gram value as the universal base.
How do I convert kilograms to pounds?
Enter the kilogram value, select "Kilogram (kg)" as the source unit, and select "Pound (lb)" as the target unit. The main result displays the converted value instantly. For example, 1 kg = 2.20462 lb. You can also see the full conversion table to view the equivalent in all units at once.
What is a geun (근) in grams?
A geun (斤) is a traditional Korean unit of weight equal to 600 grams (0.6 kg). It is commonly used in Korean traditional markets for meat, vegetables, and bulk goods. Note that 1 geun = 16 nyang = 160 don in the traditional Korean system, and 1 nyang = 37.5 g, 1 don = 3.75 g.
What is a carat in grams?
A metric carat (ct) equals exactly 0.2 grams (200 milligrams). It is the standard unit of mass for gemstones, particularly diamonds. A 1-carat diamond weighs 0.2 g. The word "carat" for gemstones is different from "karat" (with a K), which measures gold purity.
How many ounces are in a pound?
There are exactly 16 avoirdupois ounces in 1 pound. 1 pound = 453.592 grams; 1 ounce = 28.3495 grams. These are the standard US customary and imperial units used for most commercial weight measurements. Note that "troy ounce" (used for precious metals) is different — 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g — but this converter uses the standard avoirdupois ounce.
How precise are the conversion results?
The converter uses up to 10 significant figures for output precision. For large values (≥ 1,000), it uses locale-formatted numbers with up to 6 decimal places. For smaller values, it applies 10 significant figures and strips trailing zeros. Values smaller than 1×10⁻¹⁰ are displayed as 0 to avoid scientific notation confusion.
What is the difference between a metric ton and a long/short ton?
This converter uses the metric ton (also called tonne), which equals exactly 1,000 kilograms or 1,000,000 grams. A US short ton is 907.185 kg and a UK long ton is 1,016.05 kg. For scientific and international trade purposes, the metric ton (t) is the standard.
Can I use this to convert milligrams for medication dosages?
Yes. The converter supports milligrams (mg) and shows conversions to all other units. For medication purposes, 1 mg = 0.001 g = 0.000001 kg. Be aware that medication dosages are precise medical values — always verify with a healthcare professional and use this tool only as a general reference, not as a substitute for medical advice.
