What is a Fluid Ounce?
A fluid ounce is a unit of volume commonly used in the imperial system to measure liquids. It is particularly useful for indicating everyday quantities of liquids when milliliters and liters are either too small or too large.
Fluid ounces are abbreviated as fl oz or fl. oz. There are two main types of fluid ounces:
- The British Imperial fluid ounce
- The United States Customary fluid ounce
It’s important to know which one you are using, as they have slightly different values.
Remember, a fluid ounce measures volume, not to be confused with an ounce, which measures mass!
Definitions

- US Fluid Ounce: Defined as 1/128th of a US liquid gallon.
