Gram in Canada – Definition

A gram is a measuring unit used to measure weight and mass. It is also used to measure lighter non-liquid objects. As per the International System of Units (SI), this mass unit is used globally. The gram (g) definition is based on another weight measurement unit, kilogram (kg). Gram is one-thousandth part (1/1000) of a kg.

What is The Current Use of Gram?

Grams are globally accepted as the weight measurement unit. Non-liquid items less than one kg are generally weighed in grams. We notice that the weight of pulses, vegetables or fruits is written as 100 g, 250 g or 500 g. Moreover, the packed products add a nutrition label for every 100 g of the respective ingredient.

What is The History of Gram in Canada?

The word ‘gram’ is derived from the French word ‘gramme’ and the Latin word ‘gramma’; both these words mean small in weight. Originally, a gram was termed the absolute weight of water in a cubic centimetre at the temperature of melting ice. It was used as a fundamental unit of mass and part of centimetre-gram-second (CGS) systems of units. However, with the widespread adoption of SI, kilograms became the base unit of mass, and the Gram was later redefined as 1/1000th of a kilogram.

Ounce in Canada – Definition

It is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary measurement systems. It is another unit to measure an object or liquid’s mass, volume or weight. Ounce units can be classified into dry ounces and fluid ounces. A dry ounce is the smallest measurement unit usually used for measuring dry cooking ingredients like nuts, seeds etc. A fluid ounce is denoted as fl oz and is normally used for measuring the volume of liquid items like milk, honey, oil etc.

How is Ounce Used?

This unit is mostly used in the US to measure packaged food items, portions, postal items, etc. After adopting metrication, the United Kingdom (UK) has stopped using ounces, but you may still come across this measurement unit in some restaurants.

What is The History of Ounce?

An ounce is derived from an Ancient Roman measurement unit termed uncia. The abbreviation oz was taken from the Italian word ‘onza’. A standardised copper bar defined the ounce, similar to the Roman pound and foot. This copper bar was divided into twelve equal parts and was termed unciae. The ounce has been used as a standard unit of mass throughout different applications. For instance, the Dutch metric ounce was 100 g, the French ounce was 30.59 g, and the Spanish ounce was 28.75 g.

Understanding The Canadian Gram-Ounce Relationship

We can determine the relationship between grams and ounces with the help of mathematics. There exists a formula for converting grams to ounces and vice versa. To understand this formula, we must learn the basic values, which are as follows:

1 Gram = 0.0353 Ounces and 1 Ounce = 28.3495 Grams

Now you can use the formula Gram = Ounce x 0.0353 to get the respective value in ounces. You can also use a grams-to-ounce calculator or an online converter to get the desired values in a fraction of a second.

Abbreviations For Grams and Ounces

Gram is often abbreviated as ‘g’ or ‘gm’, while ounce is ‘oz’. You may come across these abbreviations when you refer to the grams-to-ounces chart. Moreover, when you use an online converter to determine grams to ounces or vice versa, you may see these abbreviations written after the values.
