Convert Slugs to Troy ounces

1 slug is 469.2 ozt. One slug is exactly 469.204874781 troy ounces.

One slug is 469.20487 troy ounces. To convert slugs to troy ounces, multiply by 469.20487; to go the other way, divide by 469.20487 or multiply by 0.0021312652. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. The mass that one pound-force accelerates at one foot per second squared — 32.174 pounds.

What is a slug?

The mass that one pound-force accelerates at one foot per second squared — 32.174 pounds. It exists so that F = ma works in US customary units without a conversion constant, and it is why American engineering statics is not simply pounds.

What is a troy ounce?

Exactly 31.1034768 grams, and the only ounce bullion is ever quoted in. It is about 10% heavier than the ounce on a kitchen scale, so a "pound" of gold — twelve troy ounces — is lighter than a pound of anything else.

How many troy ounces are in a slug?

One slug is 469.20487 troy ounces. Going the other way, one troy ounce is 0.0021312652 slugs. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

Every weight unit here

The whole group — 15 units with their symbols and the size of each one in kilograms — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a slug.
