  • How to Convert the Volume of Millimeters

    Converting volume of millimeters is something that you can do in just a few seconds, so long as you know the right procedure. Convert volume of millimeters with help from a high school math tutor in this free video clip.

  • How To Convert Parts Per Million By Volume To Parts Per Million By Weight

    Converting parts-per-million by volume to parts-per-million by weight is a complicated process. However, by taking your time and working through the steps, the process is manageable. In the end, the weight-to-volume ratio is a function of density. Each solution's ratio of weight-to-volume will be different.

  • How to Convert Bushels by Volume to Bushels by Weight

    A bushel is a standardized unit of measurement which is equal to 1.25 cubic feet. It is important to have standard units of measurement to facilitate commerce. Whether you have a bushel of corn or a bushel of rice, you will be receiving 1.25 cubic feet of produce. However, the actual weight of the bushel will vary, depending on the commodity. Fortunately, there are tables already established that display the weight per bushel of most commodities.

  • How to Convert the Volume Variable in SPSS to Per 1,000

    SPSS is mathematical analysis software created by IBM. It has four main component applications: Statistics, Modeler, Data Collection and Deployment. Businesses use it for predictive analysis and customer optimization. You can use the statistics application to view customer trends, sell more products and minimize fraud and business risk. The program can compute and execute user-inputted operators and variables to perform specific calculations.

  • How to Convert 10Pt of Paper Weight

    Pt is the abbreviation for "point" when it applies to paper. The Pt is the unit of measure that refers to the thickness of paper in the United States. It is 1/1000- inch thick. 10Pt paper is .010 inches or .254 mm in thickness. Two common 10Pt papers are card stock and note or recipe cards. Card stock and note or recipe cards are sold with the label 100 pound paper. 10Pt paper and 100 pound paper are synonymous with one another.

  • How to Convert One Cubic Yard of Dirt to Ounces

    Dirt is a mixture of small stones, sand, clays and soil. When you clean up dirt and pack it into bags you may need to estimate the weight according to the dirt volume. To make the required calculations you have to know the density of the dirt and use the formula: weight = density x volume; in this case the volume is one cubic foot.

  • How Can We Find the Percent Error of the Density?

    No measurement can be 100 percent accurate. If you measured a piece of wood with a ruler and found a width of 6 inches, for example, you do not know that the board is exactly 6 inches wide; it looks as if it is, but it could be microscopically more or less. In science, all measurements must be reported together with the uncertainty in that measurement. When you use those measurements in calculations, your results should reflect the uncertainty.

  • How to Measure Cement in Cubic Yards

    Cement consists primarily of a mixture of calcium carbonate, clay and calcium silicate. When mixed with water, cement quickly solidifies. Due to this property, cement is widely used as a binding material in construction. This material is often sold in bags by weight while many cement recipes use the volume rather than mass. Use the cement density to calculate the volume in square yards.

  • How to Convert Weight to Volume for Cement

    Cement is a chemical compound that is commonly used in construction. The cement powder when mixed with water in certain proportions hardens and thus binds together construction elements -- bricks, for example. Cement recipes often refer to the volume of the cement rather than its weight. To convert the weight to the volume, you need to know the cement density and use the following formula: volume = weight / density.

  • How to Convert Volume and Mass to Density

    Every physical object has its own density, which is defined as the mass of an object, in grams (g), divided by its volume, in liters (mL) for liquids and cubic centimeters (cm^3) for solids. You can experience an obvious difference in density by holding a pingpong ball in one hand and a golf ball in the other; they have basically the same volume, but the golf ball has more mass and thus a higher density. This becomes quite obvious because the golf ball feels significantly heavier and more solid than the ping pong ball. If you know the mass and…

  • DIY: 10 Gallon Refugium

    If you have an empty 10 gallon acrylic or glass fish tank and a marine or reef aquarium, why not add a refugium? Refugiums have become a popular addition to saltwater tanks in recent years, and many aquarists find them as interesting to observe as their main fish tanks. How you set up your refugium will depend on whether the main purpose of your refugium is filtration, food or to showcase certain species.

  • How to Convert Volume From Density

    Density describes the relationship between the mass of a substance and its volume. It is given by the formula density equals mass divided by volume (density = mass/volume). Therefore, if the density and mass of a substance are known, the volume may be determined by dividing the mass by the density (volume = mass/density). Mass may also be determined by restructuring the formula so that volume multiplied by density equals mass (mass = volume x density). In determining the mass or volume of a substance from its density, the density of the substance must be known.

  • How to Convert Dry Weight to Volume

    When you need to determine the volume of an item, certain shapes make the calculations easier. For example, cubes or spheres have regular geometric formulas that can be used to quickly calculate their volume from simple measurements of length or diameter. Irregularly shaped objects, however, present more of a challenge because they do not have formulas to calculate volume. Instead, you can weigh the object and convert the weight to volume by using the density of the item. Density measures weight per unit of volume, so it provides an easy method of calculating volume for irregular solids as well as…
