Convert ounces to kilograms, oz to kg

One kilogram is equal to 35.27 ounces,

One ounce is equal to 0.02835 kilogram.

What is the difference between weight and volume? The first one is used for solids, more precisely - whole objects; the second - for liquids and mixing with solids, more precisely - whole objects, and the second - for liquids and ingredients. The metric system uses grams (g), kilograms (kg), tons, and liters (l) for this.

 

In the British system, these are ounce (oz), pound (lbs), short or American ton, long (English) ton, and fluid ounce, pint, quart, gallon. Note that the specific short and long tons are written in English with one letter n - ton; the metric ton we are used to, which is precisely 1000 kg, will be written with two letters n - tonne.

 

This set may not be enough for a comfortable life in modern British or American realities. Well, if you are going to trade oil, then you can still deal with barrels. The concept of the barrel can be of several types: for liquids in general and particular oil barrels. The first is also called a liquid barrel (br). It is exactly equal to 31.5 gallons or approximately 117.3 liters. Second, oil barrel, that's how a barrel of oil is called a bbl. This is a larger volume - a barrel of oil corresponds to exactly 42 gallons or approximately 159 liters.

 

The question may arise: is it necessary to remember all the conversions between the customary measurement system and the metric system? In practice, if you are only taking a short trip abroad, it may not be essential to focus too much on this. You likely won’t need to make many purchases, and are you even sure whether your speed is measured in kilometers per hour or miles per hour? Knowing this is important to avoid incurring heavy fines.

 

If you plan to live in Great Britain for an extended period, you will naturally begin to understand the local measurements. For example, you'll learn how to buy a pound of meat when preparing a stew for a group of friends, or how to understand a pint of beer— which is more than half a liter.

 

It’s important to know: globalization is steadily pushing for a unified measurement system. This metric system pushes using grams, meters, and liters, and tends to be more convenient and widely accepted. Right? The labeling of weight and mass on product packaging typically reflects these standard measures. However, until pounds and ounces are completely phased out, having some understanding with them remains useful... So let's convert oz to kg.
