What Is a Fluid Ounce (fl oz)?

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.


Is a US Fluid Ounce the Same as a UK Fluid Ounce?

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.

  • 1 US fluid ounce (fl oz) is approximately 29.57 milliliters (ml).
  • 1 UK (Imperial) fluid ounce (fl oz) is approximately 28.41 milliliters (ml).

Fluid Ounce (Volume) vs. Ounce (Weight): What's the Difference?

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.


Where Did the Fluid Ounce Come From?

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.

What is a Kanna?

A Kanna is a traditional unit of volume from Sweden, equal to 2.617 liters.

The word itself means "can," "pot," or "jug" in Swedish, directly reflecting its use as a container for measuring.

The correct plural form is Kannor, a term you'll find in historical records and recipes.


Where Did the Kanna Measurement Come From?

The Kanna has deep roots in Swedish history, serving as a standard unit of measurement long before the country adopted the metric system in 1889.

This measurement was a part of everyday life, used in homes and markets all across Sweden to measure everything from milk and spirits to dry goods.

The Kanna was part of a larger system of units, where a stop was half a Kanna, and a tunna (or barrel) was made up of 48 Kannor.


How Much is a Kanna? (Conversions)

To help you visualize this volume, one Kanna is approximately the size of a large 2-liter soda bottle.

Here is a quick Kanna conversion guide to modern and historic units:

  • 1 Kanna = 2.617 liters
  • 1 Kanna = approximately 0.691 US gallons
  • 1 Kanna = approximately 5.5 US pints
  • 1 Kanna = 2 stop
  • 48 Kannor = 1 tunna (barrel)
