In the English or FPS system, the fundamental unit of weight is the pound (more accurately, the pound-force, abbreviated lbf.) There are many other units derived from the pound-force, which are many pound-force (the ton, for example) or fractions thereof (the ounce, for example). In the avoirdupoir weight system, it is also called a pound. That system of weights and measures is based on a pound containing 16 ounces or 7,000 grains and is equal to 453.59 grams. In the metric or MKS system, it is the newton or kilopond.
