Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (oka, oke [Turkey]) The oka, oke [Turkey] is a traditional unit of weight in Turkey and throughout the eastern Mediterranean. The oka is approximately 2.8 pounds or 1.28 kilograms, although its size varied somewhat over the large area formerly included in the Turkish empire. Unit Definition (ounce [troy]) The ounce [troy] is a second traditional unit of mass or weight. The troy ounce, traditionally used in pharmacy and jewelry, is 1/12 troy pound, 480 grains, or about 31.1035 grams. Thus the troy ounce equals 192/175 = 1.09714 avoirdupois ounces. This unit is the traditional measure for gold and other precious metals; in particular, the prices of gold and silver quoted in financial markets are the prices per troy ounce. The troy ounce is divided into 20 pennyweight or into 8 troy drams.
