While the VCF is primarily used for liquid hydrocarbons, the theory and principles behind it apply to most liquids, with some exceptions. As a general principle, most liquid substances will contract in volume as temperature drops. However, certain substances, water for example, contain unique angular structures at the molecular level.
Volume may be measured either in terms of units of cubic length or with specific volume units. 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.).
An Anker (usually anglicized as Anchor [1]) was a Dutch unit of capacity for wine or brandy equal to 10 US gallons [2] that was used as a standard liquid measurement. [3] It was most commonly used in Colonial times in New York and New Jersey, thanks to the earlier Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam (later New York City).
Microsoft Graph (originally known as Microsoft Chart) is an OLE application deployed by Microsoft Office programs such as Excel and Access to create charts and graphs. The program is available as an OLE application object in Visual Basic. Microsoft Graph supports many different types of charts, but its output is dated.
The minim (abbreviated min, ♏︎ or ♍︎) is a unit of volume in both the imperial and U.S. customary systems of measurement. Specifically, in the imperial system, it is 1 ⁄ 60 of an imperial fluid drachm [1] [2] or 1 ⁄ 480 of an imperial fluid ounce; in the U.S. customary system, it is 1 ⁄ 60 of a US customary fluid dram or 1 ⁄ 480 of a US customary fluid ounce.
[4] [5] The mouthful was still a unit of liquid measure during Elizabethan times. [6] The principal Egyptian standards from small to large were the ro, hin, hekat , and khar.) [ 7 ] Because of the lack of official definitions, many of these units will not have a consistent value.
Thermodynamic data is usually presented as a table or chart of function values for one mole of a substance (or in the case of the steam tables, one kg). A thermodynamic datafile is a set of equation parameters from which the numerical data values can be calculated.
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 ...
