The traditional Swedish (Stockholm) pund was equal to about 425.1 grams (14.995 ounces). Unit Definition (truss) The truss is a traditional weight unit, generally equal to 4 stone or 56 pounds (about 25.4 kilograms). The truss was used primarily for measuring hay. In 1795, Parliament specified that a truss of hay should equal 56 pounds for old hay or 60 pounds (about 27.2 kilograms) for new hay.
