What Is This Tool?

This tool performs conversions between the troy or apothecary pound, a historical mass unit, and the dalton, an atomic mass unit used in scientific fields such as chemistry and biochemistry.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in pounds (troy or apothecary) you wish to convert
  • Select the unit 'pound (troy or apothecary)' as the input unit
  • Choose 'dalton' as the target conversion unit
  • Click 'Convert' to get the equivalent mass value in daltons
  • Review the output and use it for your scientific or historical applications

Key Features

  • Converts pound (troy or apothecary) to dalton with a precise conversion rate
  • Supports interpretation of historical and precious-metal mass measurements
  • Facilitates molecular and atomic mass analysis in scientific research
  • Browser-based and straightforward to use
  • Useful for chemistry, pharmacology, and historical metrology contexts

Examples

  • 2 pounds (troy or apothecary) equals 449545291683620000000000000 daltons
  • 0.5 pound (troy or apothecary) equals 112386322920905000000000000 daltons

Common Use Cases

  • Converting historical apothecary prescriptions and pharmacopoeia records to modern units
  • Cataloguing weights of old coins and museum artifacts recorded in troy/apothecary pounds
  • Analyzing atomic and molecular masses in chemistry and physical chemistry
  • Reporting protein and peptide masses in biochemistry and proteomics
  • Describing monomer and oligomer masses in polymer science via mass spectrometry

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you specify the correct historical pound variant when entering data
  • Use the conversion primarily for scientific or historical contexts due to unit obsolescence
  • Interpret large numerical results carefully because of the dalton's very small mass scale
  • Cross-check conversions when dealing with precious-metal or molecular mass data
  • Keep in mind the limitations of applying this conversion outside specialized applications

Limitations

  • The troy pound is largely obsolete and seldom employed in modern measurement
  • Dalton values are extremely large numbers due to the small size of the unit
  • Conversions are mostly relevant for historical or specialized scientific contexts

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a troy or apothecary pound?
It is a historical unit of mass equal to 12 troy ounces or exactly 373.2417216 grams, formerly used in apothecaries and precious-metal measurement.

What does one dalton represent?
One dalton is an atomic mass unit equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, used for expressing atomic and molecular masses.

Why convert troy pounds to daltons?
This conversion helps translate historical and precious-metal masses into atomic-scale units for scientific research and analysis.

Is the troy pound still in use today?
No, it is largely obsolete and mainly used in historical or specialized contexts.

Are the resulting dalton numbers easy to handle?
No, due to the very small size of daltons, the converted numbers are extremely large and can be unwieldy.

Key Terminology

Pound (Troy or Apothecary)
A historical mass unit equal to 12 troy ounces or 5,760 grains, exactly 373.2417216 grams, used in apothecaries and bullion measurement.
Dalton (Da)
A unit of mass equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, used to express atomic and molecular masses.
Troy Ounce
A unit of mass used in the troy system; 12 troy ounces make one troy pound.
