Is a pound of liquid measured as 16 ounces?

Answer 1

No. That's the problem with trying to work with a system of units that has

two different ounces ... "fluid ounces" for volume and "ounces" for force.

The volume of a liquid is measured in "fluid ounces". 16 of them make 1 pint,

and 128 of them, make 1 gallon.

The weight of anything ... liquid or solid ... is measured in "ounces". 16 of them

make 1 pound.

16 fluid ounces of water weigh close to 1 pound, but you should treat that as

nothing more than a relatively useless coincidence. 16 ounces of other liquids

have different weights.

Answer 2

Yes, a pound of liquid is equivalent to 16 fluid ounces. This conversion is commonly used in the United States.
