My husband says that with fresh water, fluid ounces and avoirdupois are the
same for all intents and purposes.
One pint of water = 16 FLUID OUNCES which weights 1.04 lbs.
"A pint is a pound the world around." [One pint of water weighs one pound.]

Ken, here is a posting that you might not have seen. It is not mine. I
don't see it on here anymore. Perhaps it might help.
Cup sets are now often sold in metric format. Mine are as follows:
> 1 cup = 250ml
> 1/2 cup = 125ml
> 1/3 cup = 80ml
> 1/4 cup = 60 ml
> 1 Tbsp = 15ml
> 1 tsp = 5ml
> Of course, one millilitre (ml) of water weighs one gram (at 18C or
> thereabouts).
