]]> The main distinction between the imperial system and the US measurement rates is in volume. The number of ounces in pints, quarts or gallons are larger in the imperial system. Also, the size of one fluid ounce is distinct, as it follows:

1 fl ounce (US) = 29.57 ml

1 fl ounce (imperial) = 28.41 ml

Fluid unce (US) is bigger than imperial fluid ounce.
