About Ounces
The avoirdupois ounce (oz) is 1/16 of a pound, equal to approximately 28.35 grams. It is the everyday ounce used in the United States and United Kingdom for food portions, household quantities, and general trade. US food packages, recipe measurements, and nutrition labels reference ounces; a standard stick of butter is 4 oz, a can of soup typically 10.75 oz, and a baseball weighs 5-5.25 oz. Unlike the troy ounce (31.10 g) used for precious metals, the avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) is lighter.
About Metric Tons
A metric ton (t), also called a tonne, equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard large mass unit in the international SI system, used worldwide for shipping, trade, agriculture, industry, and environmental monitoring. Global steel production, grain harvests, CO₂ emissions, shipping freight, and oil production are all reported in millions of metric tonnes. A standard TEU shipping container can carry up to approximately 28 metric tonnes of cargo. Carbon footprint calculators express emissions in CO₂ equivalent tonnes (tCO₂e).
