konversiomassat

Konversiomassat, also known as conversion masses, are units of mass used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring ingredients in cooking and baking. These units are based on the avoirdupois system of weights and measures, which is distinct from the metric system. The most commonly used conversion masses include the pound (lb), ounce (oz), and ton. The pound is further divided into 16 ounces, and the ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. Conversion masses are often used in recipes to specify the amount of an ingredient needed, and they are converted to metric units for scientific or international use. The use of conversion masses has been declining in recent years as the metric system has gained more widespread acceptance.
