The UK presently uses the metric system. Grams. The English system (in use in the US) more correctly called Avoirdupois Weights, Troy Weights and Apothecaries Weights use grains as the smallest unit. (grains are equal in all 3 systems) where 1 pound (Av.) = 7000 grains and 1 pound Troy or Apoth. = 5760 grains. 1 pound (Av) = 16 ounces (Av) 1 pound (T or Rx) = 12 ounces (T or Rx) 1 oz.(Av) = 437.5 grains 1 oz. (T or Rx) = 480 grains Rx ounces are also broken down into 8 drams or 24 scruples per ounce. Troy ounces are broken down to 20 pennyweights per ounce. Avoirdupois ounces are broken down to 16 drams per ounce. ***Thus a pound of feathers (7000 grains) is heavier than a pound of lead (5760 grains).
