    A metric ounce is an approximation of the imperial ounce, US dry ounce, or US fluid ounce. These three customary units vary. However, the metric ounce is usually taken as 25 or 30 ml (0.88 or 1.06 imp fl oz; 0.85 or 1.01 US fl oz) when volume is being measured, or in grams when mass is being measured.

    In addition to Poynting, measurements were made by C. V. Boys (1895) [25] and Carl Braun (1897), [26] with compatible results suggesting G = 6.66(1) × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2. The modern notation involving the constant G was introduced by Boys in 1894 [12] and becomes standard by the end of the 1890s, with values usually cited in the ...

    The United States adopted the conversion factor 1 metre = 39.37 inches by an act in 1866. [30] In 1893, Mendenhall ordered the physical realization of the inch to be based on the international prototype metres numbers 21 and 27, which had been received from the CGPM, together with the previously adopted conversion factor.
