weight conversion
I just picked up a digital scale for a great deal but it only does grams.
so my question: how many grains in a gram?

thx

Kromer,

First this is from memory.

Second there are 7000 grains in a pound, and 2.204 pounds in a kilogram and 1,000 grams in a Kg, so all that sez 15.428 grains = 1 gram.

Another way to figure: 1 lb = 7000 grains = 453.7 grams, therefore 1 gram = 15.428697... grains, or there about.

But might I suggest that you take those scales back to the weed dealer you bought them from and get some properly calibrated in the Queen's units.

thanx guys, I just needed to double check my math.

Steve's pages I should have known it's in there somewhere.

for those that have not checked Steve's site you are missing out on some great info!!!

As for the Queen's units �. The scale also does oz's, that it my weed dealers unit of
choice but not one that I want to use to load, the decimals would just drive me up the wall [Big Grin]

I use 1 grain = 0.0648g. The inversion would be 15.4321.
