Blank (unit)

Blank was an English Troy weight. It was a gold, silver, platinum, gemstone, coin and apothecary weight. The small measure calls into question the weighing ability. The dimensional chain was from the troy pound downː

• 1 Troy-pound / pound = 12 ounces / ounces = 240 Penny Weights / Pfennig weight = 5760 Grains / Grän = 115,200 = 2,764,800 Mites doits = 55296000 Periots = 1327104000 Blanks = 373.209 grams (373.1501 grams)

For clarity from grain the dimensional chain:

• 1 grain = 20 mites = 480 doits = 9600 periots = 230,400 blanks
• 1 blank = 1 / 230,400 grain = 0.00028 milligrams
