  2. Cup (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

    The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...

    Small planets, the Moon and dwarf planets in the Solar System have diameters from one to ten million meters. Top row: Mars (left), Mercury (right); bottom row: Moon (left), Pluto (center), and Haumea (right), to scale. The megametre (SI symbol: Mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1 000 000 meters (10 6 m).

  4. Cooking weights and measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_weights_and_measures

    On a larger scale, perhaps for institutional cookery, a UK gallon is 8 UK pints (160 UK fluid ounces; about 1·2 US gallons or 4.546 litres), whereas the US gallon is 8 US pints (128 US fluid ounces; about 0·83 UK gallon or 3.785 litres). The metric system was officially adopted in the UK, for most purposes, in the 20th century and both ...

    In 2011, the United States Environmental Protection Agency introduced the gallon gasoline equivalent as a unit of energy because their research showed most U.S. citizens do not understand the standard units. The gallon gasoline equivalent is defined as 33.7 kWh, [81] or about 1.213 × 10 8 joules.

  6. List of rivers by discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_discharge

    This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric.

  8. Reverse osmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

    A RO unit delivering 20 liters (5.3 U.S. gal) of treated water per day also discharge between 50 and 80 liters (13 and 21 U.S. gal). This led India's National Green Tribunal to propose a ban on RO water purification systems in areas where the total dissolved solids (TDS) measure in water is less than 500 mg/liter.

  9. Barrel of oil equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_of_oil_equivalent

    Since this is a measurement of mass, any conversion to barrels of oil equivalent depends on the density of the oil in question, as well as the energy content. Typically 1 tonne of oil has a volume of 1.08 to 1.19 cubic metres (6.8 to 7.5 bbl).
