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.
Stone (st)
Definition
A stone (st) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35029 kilograms.
History
