fluid ounces
Volume measurement units
Fluid ounces is the plural of fluid ounce, a unit of liquid volume.
In the US system, a fluid ounce is about 29.6 milliliters; in the British imperial system, about 28.4 milliliters.
The distinction from weight ounces matters because liquids vary in density—a fluid ounce of honey weighs more than a fluid ounce of water.
