water weight.

[WTF?]

Does anyone here know where I can find how much 16 fluid ounces weighs(in terms of lbs)???
Sorry to bother, but I can't seem to find any information....thanks for your replies.

Googling gives http://www.metric-conversions.org/volume/ounce-conversion.htm which doesn't have a fluid ounce-->pound conversion, but if you convert fluid ounces to litres and use the fact that 1kg of pure water occupies 1L, you should be ok.

Without knowing the particular thing being measured, the conversion cannot be made. Dry ounces measure weight, and can be converted to pounds. But fluid ounces measure volume. Until you have the density, you can not convert the volume to a weight.

Sorry.

For what its worth
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/B ... lents.html
says
fluid oz * 29.57 = grams
kg*2.21 = pounds

Then there is a very old saying

A pint is a pound the world around.
