| has gloss | nld: Het avoirdupoids-systeem is een systeem van eenheden van gewichten; het bevat eenheden als de pond en de ons. Het is het standaardsysteem van gewichten in de Verenigde Staten en komt ook nog altijd veel voor in het Verenigd Koninkrijk (hoewel daar tegenwoordig gestandaardiseerd is op het SI). Avoirdupoids wordt beschouwd als een moderner systeem dan de troy, het apothecair systeem, het middeleeuwse Engelse mercantiele systeem en het Tower systeem. De naam is afgeleid van het oud-Franse aveir de peis (let.: goederen van gewicht), wat verwijst naar het verkopen van goederen per gewichtseenheid (in tegenstelling tot per stuk, of met andere manieren van afmeten). |
