    The shed is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −24 barns (100 rm 2 = 10 −52 m 2). The outhouse is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −6 barns (100 am 2 = 10 −34 m 2). The barn (b) is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to one hundred femtometres squared (100 fm 2 = 10 −28 m 2).

  3. Cooling bath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_bath

    A cooling bath or ice bath, in laboratory chemistry practice, is a liquid mixture which is used to maintain low temperatures, typically between 13 °C and −196 °C. These low temperatures are used to collect liquids after distillation , to remove solvents using a rotary evaporator , or to perform a chemical reaction below room temperature ...

  4. Dry measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_measure

    In US customary units, most units of volume exist both in a dry and a liquid version, with the same name, but different values: the dry hogshead, dry barrel, dry gallon, dry quart, dry pint, etc. The bushel and the peck are only used for dry goods. Imperial units of volume are the same for both dry and liquid goods. They have a different value ...

  5. Brix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix

    Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of a solution. [1] One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_imperial...

    The units of cubic length (the cubic inch, cubic foot, cubic mile, etc.) are the same in the imperial and US customary systems, but they differ in their specific units of volume (the bushel, gallon, fluid ounce, etc.). The US customary system has one set of units for fluids and another set for dry goods.

  8. Dry ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

    Subliming dry ice pellet, with white frost on the surface. Dry ice means the solid form of carbon dioxide.It is commonly used for temporary refrigeration as CO 2 does not have a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure and sublimes directly from the solid state to the gas state.
