An imperial fluid ounce is 1 ⁄ 20 of an imperial pint, 1 ⁄ 160 of an imperial gallon or exactly 28.4130625 mL. A US customary fluid ounce is 1 ⁄ 16 of a US liquid pint and 1 ⁄ 128 of a US liquid gallon or exactly 29.5735295625 mL, making it about 4.08% larger than the imperial fluid ounce. A US food labeling fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.
In L. Frank Baum's The Patchwork Girl of Oz, one of the ingredients required for a magic spell is a gill of water from a dark well.In chapter 19, the obscure unit is used for humor including a pun with the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill", which also involved a well.
wineglassful = about 2 fl oz; tablespoonful = about 1/2 fl oz; dessertspoonful = about 2 fl dr; teaspoonful = about 1 fl dr; drop = about minim; teacupful (5 fl oz, or 1 gill ibid) wineglassful (2-1/2 fl oz or 1/2 gill or 1/2 teacupful or 1/4 tumblerful) dessertspoonful (1/4 fl oz or 2 fl dr and equal to 2 teaspoonful or 1/2 tablespoonful)

The most stable radioisotopes are 107 Pd with a half-life of 6.5 million years (found in nature), 103 Pd with 17 days, and 100 Pd with 3.63 days. Eighteen other radioisotopes have been characterized with atomic weights ranging from 90.94948(64) u ( 91 Pd) to 122.93426(64) u ( 123 Pd). [ 13 ]
Palladium(II) oxide is the inorganic compound of formula Pd O. It is the only well characterised oxide of palladium. [1] It is prepared by treating the metal with oxygen. Above about 900 °C, the oxide reverts to palladium metal and oxygen gas. It is not attacked by acids. [1]
An ounce-force is 1 ⁄ 16 of a pound-force, or about 0.2780139 newtons. It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of one avoirdupois ounce under standard gravity (at the surface of the earth, its weight). The "ounce" in "ounce-force" is equivalent to an avoirdupois ounce; ounce-force is a measurement of force using avoirdupois ounces.
The article is missing information about the very close equivalence between the weight of a fluid ounce of water and an ounce of water and also between the weight of a pint of water and a pound of water. 16 fluid ounces = 16.6908 ounces i.e. about 4% more so 1 pint = 1.043175 pounds i.e. about 4% more (needs to be said again)
