Due to metrication, the United Kingdom (UK) no longer officially uses the ounce. The ounce is still used in some other countries around the world that have roots in British history and culture. It is mostly used in the United States for measuring packaged food products, food portions, and postal items, among other things. The current definition of the ounce, the international avoirdupois ounce was adopted in 1959.Ĭurrent use: The ounce is still a standard unit of mass in the US customary system of measurement. Examples include the Dutch metric ounce (100g), French ounce (30.59g), and the Spanish ounce (28.75g), among others.

This prototype weight could be divided into 16 ounces, a number that had three even divisors (8, 4, 2). It is a system that was based on a physical standardized pound that used a prototype weight. It was updated to its current form in 1959. The avoirdupois system is a system that was commonly used in the 13 th century.
