In brewing, attenuation refers to the conversion of sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the fermentation process; the greater the attenuation, the more sugar has been converted into alcohol. A more attenuated beer is drier and more alcoholic than a less attenuated beer made from the same wort .
A beer bottle is typically between 333 and 355 ml (11.3 and 12.0 US fl oz), approximately 1.7 UK units at 5%. 375 ml (12.7 US fl oz) can of light beer (2.7% alcohol) = 0.8 Australian standard drinks; 375 ml (12.7 US fl oz) can of mid-strength beer (3.5% alcohol) = 1 Australian standard drink; 375 ml (12.7 US fl oz) can of full strength beer (4. ...
Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) (pronounced "vizwar" [1] [2]) is the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage on a transmission line . For example, a VSWR of 1.2 means a peak voltage 1.2 times the minimum voltage along that line, if the line is at least one half wavelength long.
710 mL: 24 US fl oz: 1.249 imp pt: A beercan containing 3 ⁄ 4 of a US fluid quart. Also called a "7-10" in Canada. flagon (US) 946.35 mL: 32 US fl oz: 1.66 imp pt: 1 US quart. small pitcher (US) 946.35 mL: 32 US fl oz: 1.66 imp pt: 2 US pints. The 32 oz pitcher is usually used with large 16 oz beer glasses (2 glasses per pitcher). 40 (Imp.) 1 ...
44 ml (1.5 US fl oz) or 43 ml (1.5 imp fl oz) 71 ml (2.5 imp fl oz) In Canada, a "shot" may refer to an official "standard drink" of 1.5 imperial fluid ounces or 42.6 millilitres, [ 11 ] though all establishments serve a "standard drink" of 1 oz. [ 12 ] However, shot glasses available in Canada typically are manufactured according to US fluid ...
A common scale is that of specific gravity (SG), that is to say the density of a liquid relative to the density of pure water (at a standard temperature). Specific gravity can also be measured by a pycnometer or oscillating U-tube electronic meter. Water has a SG of 1.000, absolute alcohol has a SG of 0.789. Other density scales are discussed ...
In many cases, attenuation is an exponential function of the path length through the medium. In optics and in chemical spectroscopy , this is known as the Beer–Lambert law . In engineering, attenuation is usually measured in units of decibels per unit length of medium (dB/cm, dB/km, etc.) and is represented by the attenuation coefficient of ...
Volume fraction, which is widely used in chemistry (commonly denoted as v/v), is defined as the volume of a particular component divided by the sum of all components in the mixture when they are measured separately. For example, to make 100 mL of 50% alc/vol ethanol solution, water would be added to 50 mL of ethanol to make up exactly 100 mL.
