  2. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(pressure)

    10 Pa Pressure increase per millimeter of a water column at Earth mean sea level [26] 10 Pa Pressure due to direct impact of a gentle breeze (~9 mph or 14 km/h) [27] [28] [29] 86 Pa Pressure from the weight of a U.S. penny lying flat [30] 10 2 Pa

  3. Perm (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A variant of the metric perm is used in DIN Standard 53122, where permeance is also expressed in grams per square meter per day, but at a fixed, "standard" vapor-pressure difference of 17.918 mmHg. This unit is thus 17.918 times smaller than a metric perm, corresponding to about 0.084683 of a U.S. perm.

  4. Vapour pressure of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_pressure_of_water

    The boiling point of water is the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure equals the ambient pressure. Water supercooled below its normal freezing point has a higher vapor pressure than that of ice at the same temperature and is, thus, unstable. Calculations of the (saturation) vapor pressure of water are commonly used in meteorology.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_weights_and_measures

    Sweeping across the top of the measure with the back of a straight knife or the blade of a spatula is a common leveling method. Rounded Allowing a measure of an ingredient to pile up above the rim of the measuring device naturally, into a soft, rounded shape. Heaping / heaped The maximum amount of an ingredient which will stay on the measuring ...

  6. Cholera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholera

    Water purification: All water used for drinking, washing, or cooking should be sterilized by either boiling, chlorination, ozone water treatment, ultraviolet light sterilization (e.g., by solar water disinfection), or antimicrobial filtration in any area where cholera may be present. Chlorination and boiling are often the least expensive and ...

  7. Indentation hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_hardness

    The equation based definition of hardness is the pressure applied over the contact area between the indenter and the material being tested. As a result hardness values are typically reported in units of pressure, although this is only a "true" pressure if the indenter and surface interface is perfectly flat. [citation needed]

  8. Grain per gallon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_per_gallon

    The grain per gallon (gpg) is a unit of water hardness defined as 1 grain (64.8 milligrams) of calcium carbonate dissolved in 1 US gallon of water (3.785412 L). It translates into 1 part in about 58,000 parts of water or 17.1 parts per million (ppm). Also called Clark degree (in terms of an imperial gallon).

  9. Blood alcohol content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

    Blood is denser than water and 1 mL of blood has a mass of approximately 1.055 grams, thus a mass-volume BAC of 1 g/L corresponds to a mass-mass BAC of 0.948 mg/g. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, and Switzerland use mass-mass concentrations in their laws, [ 6 ] but this distinction is often skipped over in public materials, [ 12 ...
