The American Twelfth (10 2 ⁄ 3 US oz [315 mL], or 1 ⁄ 12 of a US gallon), American Commercial Pint (12.8 US fl oz [379 mL], or 1 ⁄ 10 of a US gallon) / British Reputed Pint (13 1 ⁄ 3 imp oz [379 mL], or 1 ⁄ 12 an Imperial gallon), and the Canadian "stubby" bottle (12 imp oz [341 mL]) may have been factors.
The solar flux unit is a unit of spectral irradiance equal to 10 −22 W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1 (100 yW⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1). The nox (nx) is a unit of illuminance equal to 1 millilux (1 mlx). The nit (nt) is a unit of luminance equal to one candela per metre squared (1 cd⋅m −2). The lambert (L) is a unit of luminance equal to 10 4 /π cd⋅m ...
The Winchester bushel is the volume of a cylinder 18.5 in (470 mm) in diameter and 8 in (200 mm) high, which gives an irrational number, of approximately 2150.4202 cubic inches. [4] The modern American or US bushel is rounded to exactly 2150.42 cubic inches, a difference of less than one part per ten million.
