MEASURES OF CAPACITY. 



Metric System. 



A litre is the standard, and is equal to 1000 cubic centimetres (1000 cc.); 

 each cubic centimetre is the volume of i gramme of distilled water at 4 C. 



I cubic centimetre ( i cc.)= 16.931 minims. 



I litre = looo cc. = i pint 15 oz. 2 drs. n min. (35.2154 oz.)

i minim 0.059 cubic centimetre. 



I fluid drachm = 60 minims = 3. 549 cubic centimetres. 



I fluid ounce = 8 fluid drachms = 28.398 ,, 



I pint 20 fluid ounces =567.936 ,, 



I gallon -= 8 pints = 4.54837 litres.
