Terms --
Weight, Liquid Measures, or Count. The declaration of the quantity of a
particular commodity must be expressed in terms of liquid measure if the
commodity is liquid, or in terms of weight if the commodity is solid,
semisolid, viscous, or a mixture of solid and liquid, or in terms of numerical
count. However, if there exists a firmly established general consumer usage and
trade custom with respect to the terms used in expressing a declaration of
quantity of a particular commodity, such declaration of quantity may be
expressed in its traditional terms, if such traditional declaration gives
accurate and adequate information as to the quantity of the commodity.

09.
Units with Two or More
Meanings. When the term "ounce" is employed in a declaration of liquid
quantity, the declaration must identify the particular meaning of the term by
the use of the term "fluid"; however, such distinction may be omitted when, by
association of terms (for example, as in "one (1) pint four (4) ounces"), the
proper meaning is obvious. Whenever the declaration of quantity is in terms of
the dry pint or dry quart, the declaration must include the word "dry."
