A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a common unit used to measure volume in the imperial and US customary systems.
It tells you how much space a liquid takes up.
This is a common point of confusion: no, they are not the same!
The US fluid ounce is slightly larger than the UK (Imperial) fluid ounce. This slight difference is crucial to remember for recipes and measurements, especially when converting between systems.
The word "ounce" can be tricky because it measures two different things:
A fluid ounce (fl oz) measures volume (how much space something occupies).
An ounce (oz) measures weight (how heavy something is).
Think of it like this: a fluid ounce tells you the size of a container, while a regular ounce tells you how heavy its contents are.
For example, one fluid ounce of honey is much heavier than one fluid ounce of cooking oil because honey has a higher density.
The idea of the fluid ounce has a practical history.
In the British Imperial system, it was initially defined as the volume taken up by one ounce of water at a specific temperature.
This simple link between weight and volume made it a convenient and intuitive unit for measuring everyday liquids like water, wine, and ale for centuries.
A Glas is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 0.2 Liters (l) or 200 milliliters (mL).
It's a simple and practical measurement, and its plural form is also "Glas."
As you might guess from the name, "Glas" is the German word for a drinking "glass."
This unit of volume originates from the typical size of a standard drinking glass in Germany and other German-speaking countries.
While not an official SI unit, it's a common, practical measurement you'll often see in German recipes for cakes or for serving everyday beverages like milk or juice.
Understanding how a Glas converts to other common units is essential for cooking and everyday use.
Since one Glas is exactly 200 mL, its conversions are very straightforward.
The Glas serves as a convenient bridge between other common metric volume units, highlighting its practical size for kitchen measurements.
