Th Canadian ounce and American ounce are NOT the same volume.

32 American ounces = 1 quart standard measurement

40 Canadian ounces = 1 Quart imperial measurement


(Canada used to use the British or Imperial Measuring system.)

and 6 Gallons US = 5 Gallons CA (actually 1 gallon CA = 1.20079 gallon US)

So 6 x 32 oz US = 5 x 200 oz CA
Or 192 oz US = 200 oz CA

Hence 1 oz US = 1.0416 oz CA
1 oz US = .96 oz CA

Canadians have bigger gallon but a smaller ounce.

But the point is moot since Canada uses the metric system (for the most part anyway.)


Interestingly though, the move to the metric system in Canada actually helped product manaufacturers in the US as the Canadian gallon was 4.54 litres versus the US gallon of 3.73 litres paint is now sold in Canada at a volume of 3.73 litres ( the American gallon) simlarly this can be found in US quarts of oil ( which are just under one litre) the container manufactered to sell one quart of oil in the US can also be used to sell one litre of oil in Canada as the volume is very close . The move to metric in Canada was more about becoming unified with US retailing/ manufatcuring interests than any interest in using a 'superior' measurement system. Just look at our culture...after 30 plus years of being metric, Canada still has '2x4's in the lumber yard '8 foot ceilings in home construction, 1/4 mile race tracks and the water cooler conversation about car economy is gas mileage.....

This volume would contain less than 4 ounces of a liquid like alcohol which has a spefic gravity of less than 1. Many North American recipies are based on volumes as scales are not always handy.


How can you convert oz to fl oz?

We are talking apples to oranges. More information is necessary to make the conversion. A fluid ounce is a measure of volume while the dry ounce is a measure of weight. The same volume of mercury will be a lot more than the same volume of water.

Is ounce the same as pound?

No. One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."
