| Convert from peck [UK] to ounce [UK, liquid] |
Unit Definition (peck [UK]) The peck [UK] is a traditional unit of volume, formerly used for both liquids and solids but now used mostly for dry commodities such as grains, berries, and fruits. A peck is 2 gallons, 8 quarts, or 1/4 bushel. In the British imperial system, a peck is a little larger, holding 554.84 cubic inches or approximately 9.0923 liters. In Scotland, the traditional peck held about 9.1 liters for wheat, peas, or beans and about 12.1 liters for barley or oats. The word "peck", originally spelled "pek", comes from the name of a similar old French unit; the origin of the French unit is not known. Unit Definition (ounce [UK, liquid]) The ounce [UK, liquid] is a traditional unit of liquid volume, also called the fluid ounce to avoid confusion with the weight ounce. In the British Imperial system there are 20 fluid ounces in an imperial pint, so each fluid ounce represents about 1.733 871 cubic inches or 28.413 063 milliliters. A British fluid ounce weighs exactly one ounce at a specified temperature and pressure.
