An ounce is a unit of measurement commonly used to measure weight. It is an ancient Roman system of measuring weight, in which the ounce was one of the basic units. This system is also called the Roman ounce system or the Latin system. Now the internationally recognized avoirdupois pound equals 453.59237 grams in the metric system. It is divided into 16 ounces, which are divided into 16 drachmas. A pound is still equal to 7000 grains. In Great Britain and the United States (oz), an ounce equals 28.3495231 g.
Also:
- US ounce (lig oz), equal to 0.0296 L (1/128 US gallon).
- British ounce (fl oz), equal to 0.0296 L (1/16 British gallon),
- A unit of measurement for mass in the troy system (oz t), where a troy ounce is equal to 31.103768 g.
The ounce is often used in the United States and some other countries, especially to measure the weight of food and gold. However, it should be noted that most countries officially use the metric system, which uses grams, kilograms, and other metric units to measure weight.
