The Gram Definition

The gram (often written as gramme in British English), (Greek/Latin root gramma); symbol g, is a standard unit of mass. Upon its induction into common use, a gram was said to be "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre, and at the temperature of melting ice" (later 4 °C), a gram is now defined as 1/1000 of the kilogram (an SI base unit), or 1*10(-3) kg. Now, a gram is now defined as being equal to the mass of a physical prototype preserved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

The Ounce Definition

The ounce (abbreviated: oz, the old Italian word onza, now spelled oncia; apothecary symbol:Ç) is a unit of mass used in a variety of systems of measurement, including various systems of mass and measurement that make up the Imperials and United States customary systems. Its size can vary from system to system depending on the country. However, the international avoirdupois ounce and the international troy ounce are the two most widely used ounces today.
