Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (tahil [China]) The tahil is a traditional unit of weight used throughout eastern Asia. During the colonial period, the tahil 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 tahil was identified with a slightly smaller traditional unit and is considered equal to 1.323 ounces (37.51 grams). The tahil is usually considered equal to the Chinese liang. Unit Definition (hyl) The hyl is an obsolete MKS unit of mass. One hyl is the mass that is accelerated at one meter per second per second by one kilogram of force (kgf). Since 1 kgf = 9.806 65 newtons, the hyl is equivalent to 9.806 65 kilograms. The name of the unit comes from an ancient Greek word for matter.
