[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago (3 children) Measuring liquid with mass units? Toddlerific permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago* (1 child) It seems to be an American thing. When I was in the US I was confused by all that drink cans are labeled in weight measurements rather than in liquid measurements. Although I guess it's the US so I should just be grateful that it wasn't been measured in fractions of a corgi or something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children) 8 fluid ounces is a cup, 4 cups is a quart, 4 quarts is a gallon. Most canned drinks are 12 fl. oz, or 3/4 of a pint. 8 ounces is half a pound.

Most filling processes utilize the specific gravity of the solution and then fill by weight. 1 L of water is 1kg. Let's say you add 500 grams of sugar. Now the solution has a specific gravity of 1.5mg per ml. So a 500 mL fill (16.9 oz) is 750mg. This is really rudimentary but I hope it kind of explains how the process should go. permalink fedilink source parent [–] psilotop@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago A fluid ounce is a unit of volume. permalink fedilink source parent [–] notSys@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago (1 child) Why tho? 1kg=1l, 1g=1ml anyway, and I like to know how much something will weight in my backpack permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 days ago (2 children) That's only for pure H20 (distilled water).
