Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (maund [Pakistan]) The maund is a traditional unit of weight in India and throughout South Asia. The maund varied considerably, but during the period of British rule in India it was standardized at about 82.286 pounds or 37.3242 kilograms. The maund is divided into 40 seers. Since 1980, Pakistan has used a metric version of the maund equal to exactly 40 kilograms (88.185 pounds), thus making the seer equal to the kilogram. Unit Definition (pound [troy]) The pound [troy] is a second traditional unit of mass or weight. The troy pound, named for the French market town of Troyes, was the unit used in England by apothecaries and jewelers. The troy pound is divided into 12 ounces like the Roman pound. One troy pound is 373.242 grams, or exactly 144/175 = 0.822 858 avoirdupois pounds (13.165 72 avoirdupois ounces). The troy and avoirdupois pounds are connected by the grain: there are 5760 grains in a troy pound and 7000 grains in an avoirdupois pound.
