Gewichts- und Massesysteme verstehen
Metrische Einheiten (SI)
- •Kilogramm (kg) — SI-Basiseinheit für Masse
- •Gramm (g) = 0,001 kg
- •Milligramm (mg) = 0,000001 kg
- •Metrische Tonne (t) = 1 000 kg

- •Pfund (lb) = 16 oz = 453,592 g
- •Stone = 14 lb = 6,35 kg
- •US-Tonne (Short Ton) = 2 000 lb = 907,185 kg
- •Britische Tonne (Long Ton) = 2 240 lb = 1 016,05 kg
Wichtige Umrechnungsfaktoren
Metrische Umrechnungen
- •1 kg = 1 000 g
- •1 g = 1 000 mg
- •1 metrische Tonne = 1 000 kg
- •1 mg = 1 000 μg
