1 Water has its greatest density at 4° C. and 760 millimeter pressure. At this density, 1 liter of water 
weighs 0.999973 kilogram. - This value was used in the conversion here presented. 
For all practical 
forestry purposes, a liter of water can be considered as weighing 1 kilogram. Similarly, 0.001 cubic foot of 
water is considered as weighing 1 ounce. This density is attained at 16.7°C. 
2 Metric ton=1.1023112 short tons.
