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.
Grams (g)
Definition
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. It was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at 4°C.
History
The gram was introduced in 1795 as the base unit of mass in the original metric system. Though the kilogram later replaced it as the SI base unit, the gram remains the most commonly used unit for everyday small-scale measurements.
Current use
Grams are used worldwide for food labeling, cooking recipes, postal weighing, jewelry and gemstone measurement, and small-scale scientific work. Nutritional information on food packaging is universally expressed in grams.
