Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (liang [China]) The liang is a traditional Chinese weight unit. During the European colonial period the liang was equal to 1/16 catty, 1/12 pound, or about 37.8 grams; this made it the same as a tael. In modern China, the liang equals 1/10 jin or 10 qian; this is exactly 50 grams (1.7637 ounces). Unit Definition (fother [lead]) The fother is a traditional English unit of weight for lead. The fother, equal to 30 fotmals, was always a little smaller than a (long) ton. The original version seems to have been equivalent to 2160 avoirdupois pounds, and the version still being used in the nineteenth century was equal to 19.5 hundredweight or 2184 pounds.
