A fluid ounce is a measure ofvolume.

A dry ounce is often just called "an ounce," an is abbreviated "oz." A fluid ounce is usually explicitly called "a fluid ounce" and is abbreviated "fl. oz."

The only way to convert from weight to volume is to know the density of the material in question. For example, A fluid ounce of lead will weigh many more dry ounces and than a fluid ounce of feathers! But a dry ounce of lead weighs exactly as much as a dry ounce of feathers, but the feathers will take up a lot more space.
