Convert Troy Ounces to Micrograms

Formula

µg = oz t × 31103476.8

Derivation from SI units:

• 1 oz t = 480 gr = 31.1034768 g (exact)
• 1 µg = 10⁻⁹ kg = 10⁻³ mg
• 1 oz t = 0.0311034768 kg ÷ 1 × 10⁻⁹ kg per µg = 31103476.8 µg

Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Troy Ounce definition: troy ounce; Microgram definition: microgram.

Worked examples

1. A reading of 2 oz t converts to 62206953.6 µg.
   2 oz t × 31103476.8 = 62206953.6 µg
2. A value of 32.15 oz t is 999976779.1 µg.
   32.15 oz t × 31103476.8 = 999976779.1 µg

Where it's used

Troy Ounces are used for gold, silver and platinum prices, while micrograms appear in vitamins and trace nutrients (vitamin D, B12, folate). Both measure mass (commonly called weight), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
