Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (tael, tahil [Japan]) The tael, tahil [Japan] is a traditional unit of weight used throughout eastern Asia. During the colonial period, the tael was more or less standardized throughout the region at 4/3 ounce avoirdupois (1/16 catty, 1/12 pound, or about 37.8 grams). In Japan, however, the tael was identified with a slightly smaller traditional unit and is considered equal to 1.323 ounces (37.51 grams). The tael is usually considered equal to the Chinese liang. Unit Definition (mace [China]) The mace is a traditional Chinese unit for weighing precious metals, especially silver. In the European colonial period, the mace was considered equal to 0.1 tael or liang; this would be 2/15 ounce or about 3.78 grams.
