For all other uses, see Ounce disambiguation. December 2007 The ounce abbreviated: oz, the old Italian word onza, now spelled oncia; apothecary symbol: â„¥ is a unit of mass in a number of different systems, including various systems of mass that form part of the imperial and United States customary systems. Its size can vary from system to system. The most commonly used ounces today are the international avoirdupois ounce and the international troy ounce. Contents 1 Definitions 1.1 International avoirdupois ounce 1.2 International troy ounce 1.3 Apothecaries' ounce 1.4 Maria Theresa ounce 1.5 Metric ounces 2 Notes and references 3 External links Definitions Historically, in different parts of the world, at different points in time, and for different applications, the ounce or its translation has referred to broadly similar but different standards of mass or weight, before the distinction between weight and mass developed. Some of these other ounces are described below. Summary of ounce units ounce variant mass in grams mass in grains International avoirdupois ounce 28.34 437.5 International troy ounce 31.1034768 480 Apothecaries' ounce Maria Theresa ounce 28.0668 433.137 Dutch metric ounce 100 1,543.236 Chinese metric ounce 50 771.618 Note: The grain values for the Maria Theresa, Dutch and Chinese ounces are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a grain. International avoirdupois ounce The avoirdupois ounce is the most commonly used ounce today. It is defined to be one sixteenth of an avoirdupois pound. It is therefore equal to 437.5 grains. In 1958 the United States and countries of the Commonwealth of Nations agreed to define the international avoirdupois pound to be exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Consequently, since 1958, the international avoirdupois ounce is exactly 28.349523125 grams by definition. The ounce is commonly used as a unit of mass in the United States. While imperial units have been officially abolished in the United Kingdom, the ounce remains a familiar unit, especially amongst older people. International troy ounce A troy ounce abbreviated as t oz is equal to 480 grains. Consequently, the international troy ounce is equal to exactly 31.1034768 grams. There are 12 troy ounces in the now obsolete troy pound. Today, the troy ounce is used only to express the mass of precious metals such as gold, platinum or silver. For historical measurement of gold, a fine ounce is a troy ounce of 99.5% .995 pure gold a standard ounce is a troy ounce of 22 carat gold, 91.66% pure 11 fine ounces plus one ounce of alloy material Apothecaries' ounce The obsolete apothecaries' ounce abbreviated â„¥ equivalent to the troy ounce, was formerly used by apothecaries now called pharmacists or chemists. Maria Theresa ounce Maria Theresa ounce was once introduced in Ethiopia and some European countries, which was equal to the weight of one Maria Theresa thaler, or 28.0668 g. Both the weight and the value are the definition of one Birr, still in use in present-day Ethiopia and formerly in Eritrea.citation needed Metric ounces Some countries have redefined their ounces to fit in with the metric system.citation needed The Dutch have redefined their ounce in Dutch, ons as 100 grams. 1 2 Also the Avoirdupois pound in Dutch pond was redefined to 500 grams. This was adopted along with the introduction of the metric system and remains in informal usage mostly in cookery and groceries.citation needed The Dutch's metric values, such as 1 ons = 100 grams, is inherited, adopted and taught in Indonesia since elementary school. It is also formally written in Indonesian national dictionary Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia and elementary school's formal manual book. East Asia has a traditional ounce, known as a tael, of varying value. In China, it has been given a metric value of 50 grams.citation needed Notes and references ^ Guide to The Hague - Where to turn.
