Ounces (oz)
Definition
An ounce (oz) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 1/16 of a pound or approximately 28.3495 grams. This refers to the avoirdupois ounce.
History
The ounce derives from the Latin 'uncia' meaning one-twelfth (of a Roman pound). The avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) was standardized in medieval England and differs from the troy ounce (31.10 g) used for precious metals.
Current use
Ounces are widely used in the United States for food packaging, cooking recipes, postal rates, and product weights. They are also used informally in the UK for some food items.
Decigrams (dg)
Definition
A decigram (dg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram (0.1 g) or 100 milligrams.
History
The decigram is part of the metric prefix system established in France in 1795. Like the centigram, it has limited practical use but completes the logical progression of metric sub-units.
Current use
Decigrams are infrequently used in everyday measurements. They occasionally appear in educational contexts, some pharmaceutical formulations, and older European technical specifications.
