Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3; and 1 m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L. From 1901 to 1964, the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at maximum density (+3.98 °C) [citation needed] and standard pressure.
A US liquid gallon contains about 3.7854 kilograms (8.3454 lb) of water at 3.98 °C (39.16 °F), and is about five-sixths of an imperial gallon. There are four quarts in a gallon, two pints in a quart and 16 US fluid ounces in a US pint, making the US fluid ounce 1 / 128 of a US gallon.
The metric ton is the name used for the tonne (1000 kg, 2 204.622 62 lb), which is about 1.6% less than the long ton. The US customary system also includes the kip , equivalent to 1,000 pounds of force, which is also occasionally used as a unit of weight of 1,000 pounds (usually in engineering contexts).
The Winchester quart is an archaic measure, [10] equal to 1 ⁄ 16 of a Winchester bushel: this is equal to 134.40126 cubic inches or 1.9378781 imperial quarts or 2.2024420 litres. The 2.5 L bottles in which laboratory chemicals are supplied are sometimes referred to as Winchester quart bottles , although these contain 13.5% more than a ...
1 imperial bushel = 8 imperial gallons = 4 imperial pecks = 36.368 72 litres: ≈ 8.25645 US dry gallons ≈ 9.60760 US fluid gallons ≈ 2 219.36 cubic inches: ≈ 1.284 35 cubic feet 1 US bushel [6] = 8 US dry gallons = 4 US pecks = 2 150.42 cubic inches = 1.244 46 cubic feet = 35.239 070 166 88 litres = 9 3571 ⁄ 11550 US fluid gallons ≈ ...
Typically a large vat or vessel, most often holding 252 wine gallons, but occasionally other sizes (e.g. 256, 240 and 208 gallons) were also used. [2] The modern tun is about 954 litres. The word tun is etymologically related to the word ton for the unit of mass, the mass of a tun of wine being approximately one long ton , which is 2 240 pounds ...
The water ton is used chiefly in Great Britain, in statistics dealing with petroleum products, and is defined as 224 imperial gallons (35.96 cu ft; 1.018 m 3), [22] the volume occupied by 1 long ton (2,240 lb; 1,016 kg) of water under the conditions that define the imperial gallon.
An imperial fluid ounce is 1 ⁄ 20 of an imperial pint, 1 ⁄ 160 of an imperial gallon or exactly 28.4130625 mL. A US customary fluid ounce is 1 ⁄ 16 of a US liquid pint and 1 ⁄ 128 of a US liquid gallon or exactly 29.5735295625 mL, making it about 4.08% larger than the imperial fluid ounce. A US food labeling fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.
