Useful Information
Selling products around the world can be fun, but it can be a bit problematic as well. For example, if you are looking for a pool cue, but are accustomed to Snooker weighting, you may have a hard time wrapping your head around exactly what 19.5 oz weight actually means! All you know is 490-510! Well, I put this page together to help us both out, because some products are sold in gram weight, while others are sold in ounce weight (oz.).
To convert from ounces to grams, we divide by 0.03527. To convert from grams to ounces, we multiply by 0.03527. No, it's not 'simple' but it is certainly possible. This chart will help:

One thing we all DO agree on is tip diameter- it's measured in mm. But, if your caliper doesn't measure mm, we can work with inches too. There are exactly 25.400 mm per inch. So, to go from mm to inches, we divide by 25.4. To go from inches to mm we multiply by 25.4. Simple!
Here's another chart:
