How to convert troy ounces to pounds
pounds = troy ounces ÷ 14.5833
Example: 5 oz t ÷ 14.5833 = 0.3429 lb.
Divide the troy ounces by 14.5833, or multiply them by 0.06857; both give the same answer. 50 oz t works out to 3.429 lb.
The answer is rarely a round number, because the two units come from different systems. One handy exception: 175 troy ounces weigh exactly 12 pounds, so any multiple of 175 converts cleanly.
To sanity-check a result, compare it with regular ounces. 16 ounces make a pound, and troy ounces are a little heavier, so a count of troy ounces always weighs slightly more than the same count of regular ounces. 16 troy ounces, for example, come to 1.097 lb, just over a pound.
The pound here is the everyday avoirdupois pound used on scales. For the reverse, use pounds to troy ounces.
How much does a stack of bullion weigh?
Shipping and storage limits are set in everyday pounds or kilograms, not troy units, so convert a troy total before you pack or post it. 100 oz t of silver weighs 6.857 lb, and 1,000 oz t weighs 68.57 lb, before any boxes or tubes. On a metric form, that larger stack is 31.1 kg.
If you count coins instead, multiply the troy ounces per coin by the number of coins first. Twenty coins of 1 troy ounce each make 20 oz t, which is 1.371 lb.
Packing adds weight of its own. Weigh the finished box before you choose postage, and keep the troy figure for the value of the metal.
Troy Ounces and pounds: questions
Which is heavier, 1 ounce or 1 troy ounce?
The troy ounce. It weighs 31.1 g, while a regular ounce weighs 28.35 g, so one troy ounce equals 1.097 oz. The difference is small for one coin but grows across a large stack.
What's the difference between an ounce of gold and a troy ounce?
When gold or silver is sold by the ounce, the ounce is a troy ounce, so there is no difference. The US silver American Eagle, for example, is marked as one ounce of fine silver, and the law that defines it sets its weight at about 31.1 g, a troy ounce (31 U.S.C. 5112).
How many troy ounces are in a pound?
An everyday avoirdupois pound holds 14.58 oz t. A troy pound, a separate unit, holds exactly 12 troy ounces, so check which pound a figure uses before you convert it.
Why is a lb of gold only 12 oz?
Because gold is weighed in troy units, and the troy pound has only 12 troy ounces, which is 0.8229 lb. That is the point of the old riddle: a pound of feathers outweighs a pound of gold, yet an ounce of gold outweighs an ounce of feathers.
