What is the difference between avoirdupois and troy ounces?

The avoirdupois ounce is commonly used for general weighing and equals exactly 28.349523125 grams, while the troy ounce, used for precious metals, equals 31.1034768 grams.

Why convert ounces to gamma?

Converting ounces to gamma helps express common mass values into very small, microgram-scale units required in scientific fields such as geochemistry and toxicology.

Is the gamma unit still commonly used today?

Gamma is a historical, non-SI unit and its usage is uncommon or deprecated in many modern measurement standards.
