Help Default Weight Unit Of Product In Magento

[Redvirus]

Hi Guys.
I am working on Magento Project. Can anyone do let me know that what is the default unit of weight of a product in Magento. For example when i update a product in magento it asks the weight of the product and the actual weight of product is 350 grams but i don't know how to write Grams as unit or what is the by default weight unit of magento so i will convert the weight in that unit and then write it. Anyone can help. I can share the credentials of my project if someone is serious. Thanks.

The default weight is nothing at all. To change it, edit the weight in the backend. To change the "default", edit the shipping methods that calculate weight to use a different default.

if you need an answer and are stuck with shipping rate issues that are due to misconfigured Magento product weights.

What you need to know is the Magento weight entry field uses a 10 digit decimal system and if you are in the US you are using ounces which is a 16 digit system. That means you can’t always enter ounces into your Magento weight field. Sure entering 1 into the Magento product weight field will get you a pound, but what should you enter for your 7oz product? That would be 0.44! All you need to do is to translate that with a formula. You can do this by multiplying your product’s weight in ounces by 0.0625 to derive the decimal equivalent and round as you see fit.

The chart below is a quick reference for converting ounces to decimals for Magento product weights. In case this doesn’t cover all your needs, you can also use the handy Magento weight calculator to figure our your Magento weights.
