About

Whether calibrating a chemical balance or modernizing a vintage recipe, accuracy in weight conversion is non-negotiable. While a chef might accept a rounded "500g" for a pound, a chemist requires "453.59g". This tool serves both worlds by providing a flexible conversion engine.

Unique to this utility is the ability to parse fractional inputs directly-common in cookbooks and hardware specifications (e.g., "3/8 oz" or '1 1/2 lb'). It eliminates the need to manually calculate the decimal before converting. Users can toggle between "Kitchen Mode" (rounded) and "Lab Mode" (4 decimals) to suit the context.

Formulas

The core conversion logic applies the standard factor k:

mg = munit × k

For mixed fractions (e.g., 1 12), the parsing logic is:

mdecimal = Whole + NumDenom

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The input field recognizes standard fractions ('1/2'), mixed numbers ('1 1/4'), and decimals.
A standard Avoirdupois Ounce (used in cooking) is approx 28.35g. A Troy Ounce (used for precious metals) is heavier, at approx 31.10g. This tool supports both.
