Gram?

dav1t0 · Jul 15, 2007

Hello,

In the Netherlands we use Kilograms and Centimeters.
I know a lot of you guys use Pounds and Inches.

But what about a Gram? What do you guys use for that?

Grams and other forms of measurement are miligrams (smaller then a gram),Litres,millitres,quarts,pints,cups,fulid onces,table spoons,teaspoons,gallons,Cubic volume, and so on. I think that covers most of the major volume measurements in the US.

A gram is a unit of mass. What is "cubic volume"?

Probably an ounce is closest to your gram. Although the difference is pretty large, I think an ounce is like 25 or 30 grams.

Haha, yeah tan your right on that one^. Grams=Mass not volume

.

Cubic volume = cubic feet, cubic inches, and so on.

an ounce is 100 gram.

Check:

Is this good enough for american people?
I use Gram per Pound. See Expert Mode.

Actually, an ounce is 28 grams. 25g per ounce is good for a rough figure. In physics class, we called quarter pound hamburgers "newton burgers". Can you guess why?

Volume is always expressed as cubic units when a linear is used as the base.

because of newtons 3rd theory-- when nutritional nose dive is in motion, from eating the burger, it tends to stay nose dive.. heheehhhee

In the netherlands, ounce = ons en ons = 100 gram.

I need to know if asking 'Grams per Pound' is OK.

I am amazed to learn that the Netherlands has such a different gravitational field from the rest of the planet.

Yes, it is ok. There are 454 grams per pound, at least, outside the Netherlands.

Well, thats the same. An ounce is 100 gram. A pound is nothing in the netherlands. Well, we do use it, but it isn't official. A pound is 500gram here.

weird. it is indeed 28grams to 1 ounce in the United States. perhaps your ounces are troy ounces or something weird? because 100g is almost a quarter pound over here.
