One pound (abbreviated as lb.) is equal to 16 ounces. It is hard to overlap or connect the measurements of a fluid ounce (volume) to an ounce (weight). This means that it is not possible to immediately determine the weight of a certain matter only from a given volume, per se.
One troy ounce = 480 grains, or 31.10 grams. There are also 20 pennyweights to a troy ounce. A troy pound contains 12 troy ounces (over 13 avoirdupois ounces) and is equivalent to 373.24 grams. 32.15 troy ounces = 1 kilogram. Consequently, a grocery store pound which weighs 16 avoirdupois ounces (or 453.59 grams) will contain about 14.58 troy ounces.
