About the ounce and the metric ton

The ounce

The avoirdupois ounce (oz) is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams (1/16 of an avoirdupois pound). It is the standard small-mass unit in the United States for food packaging, recipes, and postal weights. Do not confuse it with the troy ounce (used for precious metals, 31.1035 g) or the fluid ounce (a volume).

The metric ton

The metric ton, or tonne (t), equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard unit for industrial shipping, freight, and bulk commodities such as steel, grain, and cement. Despite the name, it is not part of the strict SI system (the SI name is the megagram), but it is universally accepted in commerce and engineering.
