What are Ounce and Kilogram-force

An ounce, typically abbreviated as 'oz', is a unit of mass used in various systems, including the avoirdupois system. It's equal to one-sixteenth of an avoirdupois pound, approximately 28.35 grams. Historically, an ounce was one-twelfth of a Roman pound, and the term derives from the Latin word 'uncia,' meaning a twelfth part.

Kilogram-force, or kilopond, is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by a kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. One kilogram-force is equal to approximately 9.80665 newtons, the standard acceleration due to gravity, which makes it a convenient unit for those working in engineering and physics where Earth's gravitational context applies.

History of Ounce and Kilogram-force

Initially, the ounce was used predominantly in the trade and measurement of precious metals. The concept of converting between different units of mass, such as ounces to kilograms-force meter squared per second squared (kgf·m²/s²), arose with the need for standardization in science and engineering, facilitating accurate and consistent measurements across various fields and applications.
