About these units
Ounce (oz)
One sixteenth of a pound, exactly 28.349523125 g. Used for food, mail and consumer goods in the US and UK.
A twelfth part is what ounce originally meant. It comes from the Roman uncia, one twelfth of the Roman pound, a word that also gave English the inch. The abbreviation oz does not come from English at all but from the Italian onza or oncia. Over the centuries many regions and trades used different ounces: the English Tower ounce of 29.16 g was abolished by Henry VIII in 1527, and the Dutch ons was redefined as exactly 100 g in 1820.
The avoirdupois ounce used for everyday goods is one sixteenth of a pound, exactly 28.349523125 g or 437.5 grains, the standard in the US and under the UK imperial system. It is not the same as the troy ounce for precious metals, and neither is the fluid ounce, which measures volume. Ounces still describe portions such as steaks and burgers, and they show up in unexpected places: fabric is graded by weight per area, so a 16 oz denim is a heavy cloth, and the copper on a circuit board is specified in ounces, where 1 oz is roughly 34.7 micrometres thick.
1 ounce = 0.02834952313 kilograms (approximately).

Funt (Russian Pound) (funt)
About 409.52 g (a little under 0.9 lb). The standard Russian pound until metrication.
Funt is the Russian cousin of the English pound, and its name shares the same Latin root as pound, German Pfund and Dutch pond. Before the metric system it was the basic unit from which every other Russian weight was built, so that zolotniks, lots and poods were all counted as parts or multiples of it.
The figure used here is 409.51718 g, about 14.445 ounces or 0.903 of an avoirdupois pound. Russian sources have long given slightly different decimals for the funt, because the standard was a physical weight and later conversions to metric were refined, so the last few digits vary between references.
One funt contains 96 zolotniks, and 40 funts make a pood. An apothecaries' funt was lighter, at 84 zolotniks. Imperial Russia began using the metric system in 1899 and made it compulsory in 1918, and the funt gradually disappeared from shops.
1 funt (Russian pound) = 0.40951718 kilograms (exactly).
