Conversions - Weights to Measures and Apples to Oranges

[Guest guest]

Ok, Butch! LOL! I'll not lump again! Swear!

How many millilitres of EO are there in the Kg of oil you sell on your

wholesale site? Can I be sure that it would be the same wherever Kg was

listed on any site?

Love, Paris

Hey Paris,

 

> Hi All!

> Good day to you!

> My first question~

 

I broke your post up .. it needs to be broken up for a number of

reasons. First .. ask too much and you get too little .. second, its a

bitch to file a post with forty-leben subjects. ;-) Third .. one of

the posts needs to be used in the bird cage .. that part about Oil Of

Oregano and capsules. ;-)

 

> 1. How many millilitres are in a Kilogram of essential oil?

 

Hard to say. Its like asking how many apples are in a barrel of

oranges. ;-)

 

> A friend forwarded to me a great measurement calculator:

I didn't click the above .. no time right now .. but lemme simplify it

by saying that weights and measures are two different animals. We can

find all kinds of URLs that tell us how to convert this to that but we

can't find one that tells us how to convert apples to oranges or monkeys

to bird dawgs or feet to pounds .. or weights to measures.

 

> Just input any number in any space and then click outside the box and it fills

in the rest.

> I just cannot convert mL to Kg on it.

 

Nor can anyone else unless they wanna do one helluva lotta math and they

gotta start with density.

 

> After much going back and forth I now know why though!...I think! LOL!

 

Good. ;-) Its because we Americans insist on using an antiquated

system so we often get confused on weights and measures .. if we used

the metric system we could avoid that confusion.

 

Most American dictionaries have a section in the back that lists all the

various weights and measures.

 

Fluid ounces ........ is a Measure .. 1 fluid oz = 29.573 ml

Avoir ounces ........ is a Weight ... 1 Avoir oz = 28.35 grams

 

That tells us that millimeters are also measures and grams are weight.

 

A 10 ml bottle will hold the same amount of pure water and molten lead,

and the pure water will weigh exactly 10 grams .. but the molten lead

might weigh 70 or 80 grams .. depends on the density.

 

Why will 10 ml of pure water weigh 10 grams? Because pure water is the

standard used by man as a starting point for determining conversion of

densities in order to convert weights to measures. Thus, pure water has

been assigned a factor of " 1 " .. but almost every other liquid in the

world .. to include sea water and essential oils .. will have a plus or

minus 1 density. So .. if we wanna do the math to convert weights to

measures we gotta know the density of what we're converting.

 

Science hasn't yet figured how to convert the other things I listed

unless you use a lot of math .. and start with densities. Though I have

met some people in my life who have proven that nice folks can be

converted to instant a.holes .. just add alcohol. ;-p
