Is a paint bucket 1 pint or 1 gallon?
A paint bucket is typically measured in gallons rather than pints. The most common paint buckets are 1 gallon, 2 gallon, and 5 gallon sizes.
How many grams are in half a pint?
In the UK a half pint weighs 284 gm (or 284 ml by volume) of most liquids, water, milk etc.This wont apply to thick liquid mixtures.Not sure if they use pints in USA but their gallon is smaller so assuming the same number of pints per gallon a half pint would weigh 237 gm.
Why is there difference in US gallon and UK gallon?
The US gallon is smaller than the UK gallon because they are based on different units of measurement. The US gallon is based on the wine gallon, while the UK gallon is based on the ale gallon. Additionally, the US and UK gallons are defined differently, with the US gallon being defined as 231 cubic inches and the UK gallon as 277.42 cubic inches.
How much does water weight pound per gallon?
A gallon of fresh water weighs 8.34 pounds. If you want to verify this you can simply fill up a gallon jug and place it on your bathroom scale. There is an old cooking phrase which addresses the weight of water and other similar liquids (and in some cases, solids) used in the preparation of foods: "A pint's a pound the whole world 'round". Actually, a pint of water weighs 1.04375 pounds. So, although this phrase does not provide the EXACT weight of each liquid, it does provide a very simple rule for determining approximately how much liquids weigh. In the case of water, there are eight (8) pints of water in a gallon. Using this rule, a gallon (eight pints) would weigh approximately eight (8) pounds, which is very, very close to a gallon of water's exact weight of 8.35 pounds which is found in the more detailed and scientifically correct answers to this question. Although pints of milk, gravies and sauces are denser and actually weigh more than a pint of water, the cook can generally use his/her own judgment as to how much other liquids actually weigh. If you have an accurate weight scale, you can quite easily verify these figures. So, if you're not building a rocket ship, making chemical compounds or medicines or any other things which would require EXACT measurements, remember the simply ditty: "A pint's a pound the whole world 'round." Here are more answers from other FAQ Farmers: I'm assuming that the naturally occurring amounts of deuterium and tritium are allowed. You must first define the system of weight you will you. This would traditionally be the avoirdupois weight system for coarse measurement used in the English System of weights and measures. That system defines one pound as being equal to 16 ounces. The weight standard is set by comparing your sample with 27.7015 cubic inches of distilled water (preferably electrolytically produced to obtain pure water molecules) measured at 62 degrees Fahrenheit at a barometric pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury. The measure must be taken on scales, with the water suspended in the air and measured with brass weights. Then you would define the substance for testing. In this case water. It should be as close to pure as possible. That is, two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule with nothing else in the solution. Dissolved solids and gases would alter the weight. Additionally, the environment must be stable, so suspended gases, solids and foreign liquids need to be absent. Aeration from agitation and contact with molecules of its container kept to a minimum with the surrounding gas being insoluble in the solution being weighed. Using that weight system, the standard gallon is 231 cubic inches of undisturbed water at its maximum density, chilled to 3.98 degrees centigrade. Under these conditions, one U.S. Gallon fluid measurement is equal to 8.3389 avoirdupois pounds. This is a loaded question for sure. Since a gallon of water is a "Volume" and a "Fluid" the answer is: Depends. Depends on the temperature (since, as a fluid cools it contracts and as it warms it expands - at least most liquids anyways). So a Gallon of "PURE" common water weighs (at 68 degrees F) 8.32487 pounds. This includes the small amount of "Heavy Water" it will contain naturally. The water has to be "Pure" since if it is contaminated it will have a different weight depending on the makeup of the contaminates and how much contaminate there is. But, as you can see, as you heat water above 68 degrees F or cool it below 68 degrees F the "Volume" of water will change. Heated water will have less water in the gallon container thus it will "Weigh" less while cooled water will have more water thus will weigh more (that is until water freezes (that's another story all together LOL). Conversions 1 ft**3 of water = 7.48 gallons 1 ft**3 of water weight = 62.38 lb. 1 in**3 of water = .00433 gallons 1 in**3 of water weight = .0361 lb. 1 gallon of water = 231 in.3 1 gallon of water weight = 8.34 lb It looks like one gallon of water weighs 8.34 Lbs. Some simple calculations: 2 Pints to the quart. 4 quarts to the gallon. Knowing the above, remember the following little verse: "A pint's a pound, the world around." Two pints per quart, make a quart weigh 2 pounds. Four quarts per gallon make the gallon weigh 8+ pounds. Gallon: Pounds 8.345404 Grams 3785.4118 Kilograms 3.7854118 One cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons of water, weighing in at 62.31 pounds. The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics specifies the weight of 1 US gallon of water in air at 68 degrees F to be 8.32487 pounds or 3776.103 grams. According to the 21st edition of The Machinery's Handbook, 1 gallon of water weighs 8.337 pounds. Do the math. The density of water is 1000 kilos per meter cubed. One cubic meter is 1000 liters. There's 3.79 liters in a gallon. We divide 3.79 by 1000 and that would be how many cubic meters we have. Make a proportion. 1000/cubic meter =x/.0079 cubic meters. 1000*.00379=3.79 kilos which will be about 9 pounds! Yay! One liter of water weighs 1 kg., and 1 gallon of water is equal to 3.7854118 liters; therefore, 1 gallon weighs 3.7854118 kg, which is 8.345404487293294 pounds. But at what temperature? Temperature matters a bit. To answer this question more appropriately you would have to know the temperature of the water. As water cools it becomes denser until it reaches 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Below this temperature the density decreases and the water molecules spread apart. 1 liter of water/ice at this temperature will actually weigh less than 1 liter of water at say 80 degrees Fahrenheit. To say the temperature of the water affects the weight is somewhat misleading. If you take 1 gallon of room temperature water and place it in a sealed container, the weight will not change regardless of the temperature. Weight is the measure of the pull of gravity on the mass of an object. The mass of water will not change based on temperature, therefore the weight will not change. To be more accurate, the temperature of the water will affect the volume. Ice takes up more space than liquid water. Therefore a gallon of ice will contain less mass than a gallon of room temperature water. The difference in volume is what causes the difference in mass and therefore, the difference in weight. However, it's useful enough to know that 1 gallon of water weighs about 8 1/3lbs. It is not misleading at all. A gallon is not a measure of mass but a measure of volume and water at different temperatures has different volume to mass ratios. A ounce of ice and an ounce of room temp water are different sizes even though they have the same weight. Likewise a gallon of ice and a gallon of room temp water have different weights even though they are the same size. One gallon of water, at 20 degrees Celsius, weighs 8.33 pounds. A U.S. gallon (determined by fluid volume at 72 deg. F, at sea level) of fresh water weighs exactly 8.3452641 lbs. One gallon of water, at 20 degrees Celsius, weighs 8.33 pounds. A general rule of thumb used by cooks is "A pint's a pound the world around." There are 8 pints in a gallon and a gallon weighs about 8 lbs. A pint is not exactly a pound but unless you are dealing with a lot of water it won't make much difference. As stated above a gallon (8 pints) weights 8 1/3 lbs. 3 gallons (24 pints) will weigh 25 pounds, 1 pound more than you would expect. But, this is a little under 4% more than you expect which is not a huge variation. If you consider small changes with temperature, then what about location? If you took a gallon up a mountain or into space it would be minutely further from the center of the earth and weigh minutely less. If it was taken into deep space it would weight next to nothing (although it's mass would stay the same). On Jupiter it would weigh about 19.5 pounds. Also density, if you took water up a mountain then measured a gallon volume it would weight less because it had expanded. All the above refer to a US gallon which is 8 US pints each US pint being 16 fluid ounces. An Imperial (British) gallon is 8 Imperial pints, each Imperial pint weigh 20 fluid ounces. An Imperial pint weighs 1 pound 3 3/4 ounces so an Imperial gallon weighs 9 pounds 12 ounces. So, by using semantics, a pint, we have found, is not a pound the whole world round.
If you drank a gallon of water would you gain 8 pounds heavier?
No, you would not gain 8 pounds from drinking a gallon of water. One gallon of water weighs roughly 8.34 pounds, but your body metabolizes and eliminates the water through urine and sweat. The temporary weight gain from drinking a gallon of water is due to the water itself and not actual fat or mass gain.
Is a liter larger than 2 pints?
It depends on whose pint you are talking about. A liter of water weighs 2.2lbs A British gallon of water weighs 10lbs, so 2 pints is 2.5 lbs. An American gallon of water weighs 8.33 lbs, so 2 pints weighs 2. 09lbs. You get the most beer for your buck if you buy it in British pounds.
How many pints does a tea pot hold?
They vary, but most I have seen hold about 2 pints.
What is you gallon 2quarts 3 pints equals 1 gallon 3quarts 7 pints equals 1 gallon 3quarts 3 pints equals?
Please re-organise and re-write this . (most people would trash it as gibberish, -I'm trying to help.)
On average, how much water does a water tank generally hold?
Most water tanks will be labled by size. That means how many gallons the tank hold is what it is called. A 100 gallon tank will be sold as such and a ten gallon tank will be labled that way. So just check the labels. Most water tanks hold about thirty gallons of water. Of course the bigger the tank the more water it will hold. And you can purchase apartment sized water tanks that will hold a lot less then the average water tank.
Can a garbage can hold more than a gallon?
It depends on the size and shape of the garbage can. But a garbage bin can most probably hold more than a gallon unless the garbage can is a gallon.
How many pounds are in a gallon of 2 milk?
In most water-based liquids, 1 pint = 1 pound, so 1 gal = 8 pints = 8 pounds give or take a few ounces.
Is a paint bucket 1 pint or 1 gallon?
A paint bucket is typically measured in gallons rather than pints. The most common paint buckets are 1 gallon, 2 gallon, and 5 gallon sizes.
How much is a full bladder?
about 1/2 or 1 gallon of uran in your body which is most of the water you drink but not always some of it goes into your water in your body Actually, the bladder usually holds between 300 and 800 milliliters. It does not hold a gallon! Some people deliberately hold much more, up to 2000 ml, but this is extremely unhealthy.
What weighs more a gallon of gas or water?
A gallon of water is heavier (about 7 1/2 lbs per gallon) than gasoline (about 5.8 lbs per gallon). This is also the reason that gas floats on top of water.
Which unit is more precise gallons quarts pints cups?
Cups are the most precise unit because they are the smallest among gallons, quarts, pints, and cups. The larger units (gallons, quarts, pints) contain multiple cups within them, making cups the most detailed measure.
How many grams are in half a pint?
In the UK a half pint weighs 284 gm (or 284 ml by volume) of most liquids, water, milk etc.This wont apply to thick liquid mixtures.Not sure if they use pints in USA but their gallon is smaller so assuming the same number of pints per gallon a half pint would weigh 237 gm.
How much lemonade would it take to fill a pitcher?
Water pitchers are available in many sizes, so each will hold the amount of water it is made to hold. It could be a quart, pint, half gallon, or a gallon. Some may be even larger, depending on their intended uses.
