How to convert ounces to grams? In order to learn how to translate these quantities, first of all, it is necessary to say what this very ounce is.

The word ounce, or "uncia", takes its name from ancient Rome. In turn, an ounce, in the concept of the ancient Romans, was 1/12 of a large bronze coin weighing 27.288 grams, or one tenth, depending on the time.

Since the 13th century, 1 ounce has been equal to 1/16 of a pound. Needless to say, the modern ounce differs significantly in weight from the ancient Roman.

Years later, this measure of weight was used throughout Europe, and in the modern world it is widely used in banking, pharmaceutical and jewelry. Therefore, the need to convert ounces to grams arose even there.

As a rule, when people talk about gold, they most often mean a troy ounce.

Convert oz to grams

It is worth noting that the ounce has the international designation oz (oz). 1 ounce, at the moment, is 28.349523 grams. The value of this value changes twice a day and depends on the London fixing rate.

Of course, in the modern world there are a huge number of currency converters that can easily help you convert one value to another. We are pursuing another goal - to learn how to independently translate these values. So we can find out an ounce is how many grams.

The formula for the calculation will look like this: (? oz) * (1 lb / 16 oz) * (1 kg / 2.2046 lb) * (1000 g / 1 kg) =

To calculate how many grams are in an ounce, you need to substitute the value you are interested in. So, 1 ounce in grams will be:

1oz * (1lb/16oz) * (1kg/2.2046lb) * (1000g/1kg) = 28.349814g

Four ounces:

4oz * (1lb/16oz) * (1kg/2.2046lb) * (1000g/ 1kg) =113.396041g

5 oz:

5oz * (1lb/16oz) * (1kg/2.2046lb) * (1000g/ 1kg) =141.749070g

9 oz:

9oz * (1lb/16oz) * (1kg/2.2046lb) * (1000g/ 1kg) =255.148326g

This method is one of the most accurate, it will easily help you find out how many grams are contained in a particular number of oz, thereby showing the weight of an ounce.

In addition to this method, the table will help you find out how much one tenth or more of an ounce contains:

• Few people know that in addition to a measure of weight, 1 ounce can be represented as a measure of the volume of liquid, or 1 fl oz, so 1 ounce in grams will be equivalent to 30 ml of liquid.
• Freely convertible currencies currently account for 15% of the entire financial market;
• 1 pharmacy ounce is 29.860 grams. This value was distributed until 1930, then lost its force;
• Not every person knows about an ounce of Maria Theresa, which was 31.1025 grams. This coin was forged many times, and finally, for the tenth time, it came out the way the queen wanted.

Very often there is such a problem as the need to convert ounces to ml: we are talking about fluid ounces. Why might it be necessary to convert one value to another, and what are they? Is such a unit of measure still in use, and where did it come from?

The fluid ounce is a unit of volume commonly used to measure liquids. Approximately it is equivalent to 30 milliliters. Many definitions of this unit of measurement have been used throughout history, but in the modern world only two remain in common use, in England and the United States.

Volume matching

In the UK, a fluid ounce is 1/20 of a pint, or 1/160 of a gallon. If you convert such an ounce to milliliters, then it will be 28.4. An ounce of liquid in the United States is equal to 1/16 of a pint and 1/128 of a gallon. There are many different ounces, most of which are a unit of mass, the fluid ounce is different from them. Sometimes the specification of which ounce is meant is omitted, and it is common to find the name simply "ounce" in relation to any of these quantities. What is at stake is usually clear from the context.

Story

Initially, a fluid ounce was called the volume that one weight ounce of a substance occupies. In England, ounces were used to measure the volume of wine, and in Scotland, water. Therefore, the volume of all ounces was different, depending on the density of the liquid. The situation was further complicated by the practice of allowances, when in the Middle Ages a unit of measurement was not always equal to the sum of its parts.

In 1824, the British Parliament defined a gallon as the volume of 10 pounds of water. A gallon was divided into four quarts, a quart into two pints, a pint into four jills, and a jill into five ounces. Thus, 1 gallon became equal to 160 ounces. And for an ounce, the volume of liquid was taken, which was occupied by 1 ounce of avoirdupois. These ratios are now in force, except that 1 gallon has been revised to equal 4.54609 liters, and accordingly 1 fluid ounce of the British Empire has become equal to 28.4130625 milliliters.

In the US, the ounce was also based on the gallon, which in turn is derived from the wine gallon. The wine gallon was equal to 231 cubic inches and existed in England until 1824. When the international inch was adopted, the fluid ounce in the United States changed accordingly and became equal to 29.5735295625 milliliters, which is approximately 4% more than the fluid ounce of the United Kingdom.

Fluid ounce

The inscription oz is used abroad as a short designation for the ounce. You can meet her if you make purchases, for example, at online auctions. In ounces, any liquid goods will be measured: toilet water, perfumes, aromatic oils, rare liquid spices and more. Naturally, we are talking about buying goods from America and the UK, as well as countries that are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, such as Australia and Canada. It is worth noting that when buying goods from the USA, a simplified measure is used, in which case an ounce will be equal to 30 milliliters.

You may also need to convert ounces to milliliters when trying to use recipes for cooking various dishes. If you come across a cookbook from the UK or Australia, then you know how to convert ounces to milliliters, for example, 10 ounces will contain 300 milliliters. Sometimes the ounce and its fractions are indicated on measuring cups for liquids. Very often you can find such a designation of a measure of volume on children's dishes, for example, feeding bottles. A standard serving of 100 ml will correspond to a little over three ounces. This is possible because such goods are produced mainly for the whole world, but milliliters can also be seen on them at the same time.

Thus, there should be no problem with determining the number of milliliters in a fluid ounce. The main thing to remember is that there are several varieties of them, which can play a significant role when buying expensive goods. It is interesting that the metric system has already been introduced in the United States at the legislative level, but the Americans are so used to the existing one that it has not yet taken root.

Density and types of denim

It's no secret that they are sewn from denim, the so-called "jeans". But not everyone knows how this fabric is made and what types it happens. We will not delve into all the complexities of the technological process - there is no such need for us, lovers of jeanswear, but it is still very useful to understand some of the subtleties.

Denim is a high density cotton. Traditionally, the fabric is dyed with a rich indigo blue, but modern denim is represented by the most diverse palette of colors and shades. There are several types of denim depending on the production technology and dyeing method:

Denim (Denim)

Classic denim is the most common and most expensive type of denim material. Denim is distinguished by the characteristic interweaving of two cotton threads: dyed and undyed. The distinctive effect of the appearance of the fabric is achieved thanks to the microscopic white pile. The fabric has a one-sided color of the front side, the wrong side always remains white.

Serge (Broken twill)

Broken twill has an easily recognizable characteristic herringbone weave. Depending on the direction of the twill lines, the relief and density of the fabric changes. This type of jeans was first used by Wrangler in the 13MWZ in 1964. And it remains unchanged to its traditions to this day: almost everything is made from broken twill.

Stretch (Stretch)

This fabric is also known under another name: lycra "lycra" (jeans with lycra). "Lycra" is the name of the French company that pioneered the production of stretch denim. The fabric contains elastane, which is known for its stretchy effect. Thanks to this, jeans tightly fit the silhouette and emphasize the figure.

One of the most inexpensive types of denim. Gin is produced in Genoa, hence the name of the material - in the distortion of the name of the area. The fabric has a characteristic monochromatic color. Jean does not differ in the quality of cotton and refers to a low-quality material. But it attracts with its price. Well-known world brands do not use this type of jeans.

Chambray

Chambris is a type of denim that is characterized by a particularly thin and light material. The density of the fabric is 4-7 oz/sq. yard, compared to classic denim at 14.5 oz/sq. yard. This type of fabric is used for sewing summer and light clothing (shirts, sundresses, underwear, etc.)

Ecru (Eikru)

Translated "ecru" means "unbleached". The peculiarity of the fabric is that it is not dyed, but has a natural cotton color.

It should be noted that the quality of denim directly depends on the quality of the cotton from which it is made. There are several types of raw materials for the production of denim material:

Mexican cotton - a 24 cm long fiber allows you to produce high-quality denim, smooth and without scars.

Barbados cotton is one of the highest quality raw materials. Cotton is soft, durable and has a characteristic sheen. The process of growing and harvesting cotton requires special conditions and is a rather complicated process, which is reflected in its price. In the world market, only 7% of denim products are made from Barbadian cotton.

Zimbabwean cotton - the material is of high quality and at the same time low price. The low cost of raw materials is due to the fact that this cotton is not included in the world cotton classification.

Asian and Indian cotton is the most used and widespread type of cotton. Half of the world's denim products are made from this raw material. The fiber of Indian cotton has a short staple structure (fiber of great length).

Recently, well-known denim manufacturers around the world are also using an alternative material made of cellulose fiber, known as tencel. Cellulose fiber made from wood is spun into threads that are used to make fabric. The material has excellent performance characteristics and is in great demand. Tencel has a velvety texture, which makes it pleasant to the body and to the touch. The fabric is light, soft and very durable. For example, tencel is several times stronger than viscose. This material is painted easily and qualitatively. The paint lasts long enough and is resistant to repeated washes. The great advantage of tencel is considered to be a high degree of hygroscopicity. The material perfectly absorbs moisture and brings it out well. Thanks to these properties, these jeans are not cold in winter and not hot in summer.

Depending on the type of fabric from which the jeans are made, manufacturers indicate characteristic inscriptions on the tags. When choosing jeans, be sure to pay attention to the following designations, this will help you choose the right pants size:

Preshrunk (pre-shrinkage) - this inscription indicates that after the first wash the jeans will not sit down, because. the fabric was subjected to pre-shrinkage (possible shrinkage - 3%);

· Shrunk-to-fit (without pre-shrinkage) - jeans after washing will sit down by 10-12%;

Prewashed (Washable, One washed) (prewash) - the product does not shed and does not wipe, because the preliminary processing of the fabric involves washing;

· Rigid (Unwashed) (without prewash) - jeans made of a very dense, rigid fabric that can shed. Jeans become softer after several washes.

Denim Density

Denim also comes in different densities. Depending on the density of the fabric, denim products have a conditional seasonal division: spring-summer and autumn-winter.

Denim density is measured in ounces per square yard (1 yard = 0.9144 m = 91.44 cm; 1 ounce = 28.349523125 g). In other words, a piece of cloth 1 yard long and 28.5 inches wide (1 inch = 2.54 cm) weighs 14.5 ounces or 411 grams. The total weight of jeans is 800 grams.

Regular classic denim has a weight of 13-14.5 oz/sq. yard and up. Lightweight denim is 10-13 oz/sq. yard, and the thinnest (gabardine fabric) - 4-9 ounces / sq. yard.

For winter wear, a heavier denim is used, typically 14.5 oz/sq. yard. For convenience, in the online store "site" we conditionally made a division of the density of denim from 1 to 5, where 1 is the thinnest denim (4-9 ounces / sq. yard), and 5 is the densest (14.5 - 15 .5 oz/sq yd).

That's actually all the main basics for the types and density of denim. If you have any questions, our experts are always happy to help you.

Buying jeans in the "" online store is always easy, fast and convenient! We can verify this for ourselves!

Especially for you, we have compiled a short but comprehensive guide, after reading which you can casually toss to a charming consultant: “I, you know, prefer 12-ounce stone-washed, although I will not refuse raw denim either.” If after that there is no piece of paper with her phone in the pocket of the newly acquired pants, then you, in any case, will become the owner of a good pair of jeans.

Name

Although jeans are strongly associated with the Wild West, cowboys and the ability to open the door to the saloon with your feet, the word itself is not at all American, but Italian in origin. Already in the 17th century, the townspeople of Genoa walked around in sundresses made of thick twill, and artists painted shkets in shabby blue jackets with turned up collars.

Maestro della tela jeans, Beggar boy with a piece of pie (late 17th century)

In the next century, the denim boom reached the south of France, and especially the city of Nîmes, where twill was produced in such quantities that soon all such fabric was simply called "from Nîmes" (de Nîmes). Americans, far from the grammatical subtleties of the French language, turned the preposition and the name of the city into one word and began to call such a fabric simply - denim. And the pants, sewn from denim, became jeans in honor of Genoa, in the French way called Gênes.

Cowboys, miners and a couple of immigrants

In America, jeans have long been the favorite clothing of ordinary hard workers. Pants, in which, without being afraid of holes, it was possible to sort through ore in search of gold bars or go around wild herds, enjoyed well-deserved popularity. Only now the pockets of jeans often came off from the weight of the tools. This problem was solved by the Latvian immigrant Jacob Davis, who came up with the idea of ​​fixing pockets on jeans with metal rivets. Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, and he entered into a partnership with Levi Strauss. A year after Levi's patent, more than twenty thousand pants and jackets were sold. The appearance of the "fifth" small pocket, located inside the right front pocket, belongs to the era of the gold rush - the prospectors put the found nuggets into it, and the wealthiest kept watches in it. However it is great for other things that Michel Gondry showed in his Levi's ad.

Denim - the material from which, as you remember, jeans are made - differs in processing and density. Denim that has never been washed before being sold is called raw or raw. Raw denim jeans are distinguished by a uniform dark blue color, which, like especially gifted children, is also called indigo. The advantage of these jeans lies in their durability, as well as in the fact that after each wash they shrink and fade depending on how they were worn. It is better to wash them no more than once a month, because each wash changes their appearance so that after several washes the jeans have a unique pattern of creases and scuffs.

Most jeans, however, are washed before being put up for sale, and the manufacturers' imagination is not limited to choosing the right powder and gentle softener. In pursuit of interesting patterns, they resort to all sorts of tricks, for example, putting pebbles in the drum of a washing machine and giving jeans that survived a collision with stones the proud name stone washed. The British brand All Saints even documented the process.

When choosing jeans, you should pay attention to their density, which is traditionally measured in ounces (Oz). Lightweight jeans suitable for warm weather should be no thicker than 12-13 ounces. Denim weighing 15 ounces or more is characteristically called heavyweight. It is very durable, but it can be difficult to wear it up to several washes due to its stiffness. Jeans, the density of which exceeds 20 ounces - a pleasure for everyone. But they can be put somewhere and forgotten - they will keep their vertical position even without their owner inside.

The main thing is that the jeans fit

The number of ways to tailor and name a pair of pants exceeds all decent sizes. But the main thing to remember is the three main names: skinny, slim and regular. Ultra-skinny skinny jeans look good on fifteen-year-old skaters and no one else. Even the designers of Levi's guess this, and it is no coincidence that they called their model of tight jeans - your ex's jeans. If you want the girl to stay with you, we advise you to refrain from them.

Many men are somewhat distrustful of the slim style, which is not tight, but tapering down. But in vain! These jeans slim their wearers and, moreover, go well with coats, jackets, cardigans and fitted shirts - in short, with almost all formal wear. Regular refers to fairly wide straight-cut jeans. They are best combined with T-shirts, windbreakers and flannel shirts.

When buying jeans, it is also important to pay attention to the fit. Jeans should not bulge at the knees or be too long. If you have to fold them more than once, then it is better to hem them. The waist line should be slightly higher than the hips, so that when you bend over to the whole world, your underwear does not open. This fit also visually lengthens the legs, so that your figure becomes similar to the silhouette of Leonardo's ideal man.

If you are tired of Levi's

Three alternatives to the main American jeans.

Edwin

Great Japanese brand. The Japanese are known for their meticulous attention to detail and obsession with quality. Thanks to this, the purchased pair will not only look great, but will last you longer than jeans from other brands. Excellent universal model - ED-71 Slim Unwashed.

Uniqlo

Also a Japanese, but more democratic brand that makes inexpensive jeans. Uniqlo jeans are made from very light denim and are therefore easy and comfortable to wear. You have to pay for this with fragility - such jeans are unlikely to survive more than a couple of seasons.

A.P.C

A French brand that does concise and good things. Fitted jeans of the brand are distinguished by elegant simplicity. Also, they are not made in China. So if thinking about Chinese kids poring over your jeans for 12 hours in a row makes you wake up in a cold sweat, this is the right choice.

One of the very first problems with language adaptation for the fisherman was for me to start thinking in ounces, and not in the usual grams. After all, here almost all sinkers and jig heads, as well as tests of rods by weight of the lures used, are marked in ounces. The line is marked in pounds.

The main measures of weight that you need to know are ounce ( English ounce; fr. once; reduction - O.Z.) and POUND ( English pounds,; fr. livre; reduction - LB).

Ounce(lat. uncia) - the name of several units of weight, as well as measures of the volume of liquid, one unit of force, and even several monetary units. The word originally meant one twelfth something whole.

The term originates from ancient Rome, but was also widely used as one of the main units of weight in medieval Europe. Today, it is used in the trading of precious metals, as well as in several countries where weight is traditionally measured in pounds (for example, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom).

It is worth noting that at different times and in different places, some pounds and ounces differed from others, i.e. They weighed differently. But I will focus only on those that we now directly use.

And for this you need to get acquainted with the system of weights, which is called avoirdupois or avoirdupois, which is based on lb.(lat. pondus - weight, weight)consisting of sixteen ounces.

Word avoirdupois comes from a French and Middle English expression avoir de pois , literally meaning "loose goods" or "goods sold by weight". Initially, this term was used to refer to goods that, when sold, were weighed on large steelyards or scales, and only then did they begin to call the system of units of weight used in the sale of such goods.

Here are the main numbers to remember

1 pound avoirdupois (LB or lb) = 0.45359237 kg, i.e. 0.454 kg or 454 grams.

1 ounce avoirdupois (oz or oz at) = 28.3495231 grams or just 28.35 grams.

For simple mathematical operations in the mind, it is enough to remember that:

1 pound equals 450 grams, a 1 ounce is 28 grams.

What labels can be found in local stores

Rod test- the maximum load weight that is recommended to use with this rod. It is usually measured in ounces, i.e. is marking in oz. For example, 1/2 - 1oz, means that the rod is ideal for fishing with lures from 14 to 28 grams.

The fishing line is marked by its breaking strength in pounds, i.e. in LB. For example, a line marked 10LB means that its tensile strength is 4.54 kg.

Reels are usually equipped with two markings - the length of the fishing line in accordance with its diameter or the diameter of the fishing line with its breaking strength. For example, 100 meters of fishing line with a diameter of 0.1 mm can be wound on a reel, or 100 meters of fishing line. 10LB.

Also, when communicating with local fishermen, you will hear that they show off their catches in pounds (pauds) as well. For example, "I caught a sturgeon for 60 pounds", i.e. The fish weighed 27 kg. But you must admit, 60 is more than 27 ...

A small table of commonly used designations

1/8 oz = 3.5 grams

3/16 oz = 5.3 grams

1/4 oz = 7 grams

3/8 oz = 10.6 grams

1/2 oz = 14 grams

1 oz = 28.35 grams

1 1/4 oz = 35.35 grams

1 1/2 oz = 42.35 grams

2 oz = 56.7 grams

3 oz = 85 grams

4 oz = 113.4 grams

5 oz = 141.75 grams

I used these ounce to gram conversions when I bought jig heads, small shackled olives or center hole olives (thru rig leads), and large bottom fishing leads.

Often, labeling on packages is used double - both in ounces / pounds, and in grams / kilograms. If this is not the case, then you can easily convert ounces to grams, and pounds to kilograms. In a year, using the local weight system, you will already understand it normally and, when buying tackle, you will think not in grams, but in ounces.
