A Mass Converter is a tool that helps you convert mass measurements between different units. It can be an online tool for quick calculations or a physical device used in various industries like science, engineering, and everyday applications such as cooking or shipping.
1. Mass Converter (Online Tool)
This tool allows conversion between various mass units, such as:
Common Mass Units:
🔹 Grams (g) – A basic unit of mass in the metric system
🔹 Kilograms (kg) – Standard unit of mass in the metric system (1 kg = 1,000 g)
🔹 Milligrams (mg) – Used for small masses (1 mg = 0.001 g)
🔹 Tons (t) – Used for large masses (1 ton = 1,000 kg)
🔹 Pounds (lb) – Common in the US and UK (1 lb = 0.4536 kg)
🔹 Ounces (oz) – Common in the US and UK for smaller masses (1 oz = 28.3495 g)
🔹 Stones (st) – Used mainly in the UK for body weight (1 stone = 6.35 kg)
Example Conversions:
1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g)
5 pounds (lb) = 2.267 kg
1 ton (t) = 1,000 kilograms (kg)
1 ounce (oz) = 28.3495 grams (g)
These converters are useful in various fields such as cooking, shipping, and scientific experiments.
2. Mass Measuring Devices:
🔹 Scales & Balances – Used for measuring mass in everyday life (e.g., kitchen scales, postal scales)
🔹 Weighing Scales – Digital or mechanical devices to measure body mass, items, or objects
🔹 Load Cells – Used in industrial and scientific applications for precise mass measurements
