Unit Information

Ounce
/ˈfluːɪd aʊns/

What is the Ounce?

The imperial fluid ounce is a unit of volume from the imperial unit system and uses the symbol fl oz.

1 imperial fluid ounce is equal to 28.41306 ml. It is also equivalent to 0.9607599 US fl oz.

The imperial gallon was defined in Britain by Parliament in 1824 and established as ten pounds of water at a normal temperature. This was split into 4 quarts, each quart into 2 pints, each pint into 4 gills and each gill into 5 ounces.

The gill is a unit of volume in the imperial unit system and uses the symbol gi.

It represents 1/4 of a pint - so in this instance, it is 1/4 of an imperial pint - therefore measures exactly 142.0653125 ml. It's also equal to 2 imperial cups and 1/32 of an imperial gallon.

It is pronounced with a "J" sound at the beginning - and it actually part of a humorous in the nursery rhyme 'Jack & Jill'.

In the UK it was used throughout pubs as standard measures; for example spirits were served as 1/6 gill as standard. In Scotland it was 1/5 gill and in Ireland 1/4 gill. It's still used in the Republic of Ireland today.
