How many troy ounces of fine gold are in 20 grams of 18K gold?

⚡ Instant Calculated Answer

20 grams of 18K gold contains exactly 15.0 grams (0.4823 troy ounces) of pure fine gold, with an intrinsic scrap melt value of approximately $1,302.21 USD at $2,700/oz t.

0.4823 oz t Primary Metric
15.0 g Fine Au Secondary Metric

📐 Mathematical Formula & Step-by-Step Substitution

\[ W_{fine} = W_{gross} \cdot \left(\frac{18}{24}\right) = 20 \cdot 0.7500 = 15.0 \text{ g} = 0.4823 \text{ oz t} \]
Fine_Weight = 20g * (18/24) = 15.0g = 0.4823 oz t
  1. Determine fineness ratio of 18K gold: 18 / 24 = 0.7500 (or 750.0‰ millesimal fineness).
  2. Multiply gross weight by fineness: 20 g × 0.7500 = 15.0 grams of fine elemental gold (Au).
  3. Convert grams to troy ounces (1 oz t = 31.1034768 g): 15.0 / 31.1034768 = 0.4823 troy ounces.
  4. Convert grams to tolas (1 tola = 11.6638 g): 15.0 / 11.6638 = 1.286 tolas.
