Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (qian [China]) The qian is a traditional Chinese weight unit. In modern China the qian is equal to 0.1 liang, or exactly 5 grams (0.1764 ounce). Unit Definition (unze [Germany]) The unze is a traditional German weight unit, corresponding to the English ounce. The unze equals 1/16 pfund. Although the pfund has been assimilated into the metric system (as 500 grams), the unze is effectively obsolete. It varied in size from about 28 to 35 grams. The word comes directly from the Latin uncia; the plural is unzen.
