  2. Cup (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

    The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...

    1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g) = 2.20462262 lb 1 lb = 453.59237 g = 0.45359237 kg 1 oz = 28.3495231 g. In four different English-language countries of recipe and measuring-utensil markets, approximate cup volumes range from 236.59 to 284.1 milliliters (mL). Adaptation of volumetric recipes can be made with density approximations:

  5. Apothecaries' system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apothecaries'_system

    English-speaking countries also used a system of units of fluid measure, or in modern terminology volume units, based on the apothecaries' system. Originally, the terms and symbols used to describe the volume measurements of liquids were the same as or similar to those used to describe weight measurements of solids [33] (for example, the pound by weight and the fluid pint were both referred to ...

    The litre (Commonwealth spelling) or liter (American spelling) (SI symbols L and l, [1] other symbol used: ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm 3 ), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm 3 ) or 0.001 cubic metres (m 3 ).

    Attempts to sell 3- or 4-liter jugs of milk, instead of gallons (3.785 L), have been largely unsuccessful, and such bottles are rarely seen in the United States; milk remains sold in binary divisions of the gallon, with half-pints, pints, quarts and half-gallons being the primary sizes.

  9. Dalton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_(unit)

    For Da/ent to be exactly equal to g/mol, the dalton would need to be redefined exactly in terms of the (fixed-h) kilogram. Then, in addition to the identity g = (g/Da) Da, we would have the parallel relationship mol = (g/Da) ent = N 0 ent, conforming to the original mole concept—that the Avogadro number is the gram-to-dalton mass unit ratio.
