Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (shekel [Hebrew]) The shekel is an ancient Hebrew unit of weight (and also a coin having that weight). The shekel was the Hebrew version of a Babylonian unit used throughout the Middle East. Accounts differ on its size. A frequently quoted equivalent is 252 grains, which is equal to 0.5760 ounce (avoirdupois) or about 16.33 grams, but other sources quote a value of 8.4 grams or various values between these two extremes. Unit Definition (clove) The clove is an old English unit of weight. A clove is usually considered equal to 1/2 stone or 1/16 hundredweight; that's 7 pounds (3.175 kilograms) by the modern definition of the stone, but in the past the clove varied from 6.25 to 8 pounds.
