The standard Avoirdupois pound of the United States is equivalent to the weight of 27 .
7015 cubic inches of distilled water at 62 [
deg ]
Fahrenheit ,
the barometer being at 30 inches ,
and the water weighed in the air with brass weights .
In this system of weights 16 drams make 1 ounce ,
16 ounces 1 pound ,
25 pounds 1 quarter ,
4 quarters 1 hundred weight ,
and 20 hundred weight 1 ton .
The above pound contains 7 ,
000 grains ,
or 453 .
54 grams ,
so that 1 pound avoirdupois is equivalent to 1 31 -
144 pounds troy . (
See {
Troy weight }.)
Formerly ,
a hundred weight was reckoned at 112 pounds ,
the ton being 2 ,
240 pounds (
sometimes called a long ton ).
