💡Pro tips

The 'Divide by 2' Trick

For a rough estimate, take the pounds and divide by 2 to get kilograms. (e.g., 10 lbs / 2 = 5kg). The actual is 4.53kg, but this helps mental math.

Ounces Warning

Remember that 'Ounces' for Gold (Troy oz) are different than standard Ounces. This tool uses the standard Avoirdupois ounce.

🧶Scenario: Converting Cotton & Textiles

In the textile industry, raw cotton is often sold in bales weighed in pounds. A standard bale is roughly 500 lbs. To export this, you must convert to metric tons or kilograms. 500 lbs × 0.4535 = 226.8 kg per bale.
