Various measurement systems, including the US customary system, Imperial system, and English unit systems use the pound as a weight measuring unit. However, different systems suggest slightly different sizes for one pound. Since 1958, most Commonwealth countries, including the United States, have adopted the International Avoirdupois Pound as the standard. This pound is precisely equal to 16 ounces or 453.59237 grams. In the United Kingdom, the adoption of the international pound was formalized in 1963 through the Weights and Measures Act.
