How to Measure an Ounce of Gold
- 1). Place a digital scale on a flat surface. Press the "On/Tare" button to activate the scale.
- 2). Press the units of measure button on the scale to obtain the weight in grams. If your digital scale weighs only in grams, skip this step.
- 3). Place the gold on the scale top in the center. Allow the digital display to hold fast on one number.
- 4). Read the digital display in grams. Divide by 31.1 to convert the weight of your gold to troy ounces.
- 5). Read the digital display in standard ounces if you prefer -- or if your scale does not measure grams. Multiply the figure by .912 to convert the weight of your gold to troy ounces.
