Tables of Weights & Measures

 

VOLUME AND LIQUID MEASURE

 

3 Teaspoons = 1 Tbs. (Tablespoons) = 14.8 ml (Milliliters)

2 Tablespoons = 1 Fl. oz. (Fluid ounces) = 29.6 ml

8 Fluid ounces = 16 Tablespoons = 1 Cup = 236.6 ml

2 Cups = 32 Tbs. = 16 Fl. oz. = 1 Pint = 473.1 ml

2 Pints = 64 Tbs. = 32 Fl. oz. = 1 Quart = 946.2 ml

1 Liter = 1000 ml = 0.2642 Gallons = 33.81 Ounces

1 Gallon = 4 Quarts = 128 Fl. oz. = 256 Tbs. = 3785 ml

 

WEIGHTS

 

28.35 Grams = 1 Ounce

16 Ounces = 1 Pound = 453.6 Grams

1 Kilogram = 1000 Gram = 2.205 Pounds

1 Gallon water = 8.34 Pounds = 3.8 Kilogram

1 Cu. Ft. water = 62.4 Pounds = 28.3 Kilogram

1 Ton = 2,000 Pounds = 907 Kilograms

 

USEFUL FORMULAS

 

Area of a Rect. or Square A= length x width

Area of a Circle A= 3.14 x Radius squared

Circumference of a Circle C= Diameter x 3.14

Diameter of a Circle D= Distance from side to side

Radius of a Circle R= 1/2 of Diameter

Acre Feet of a Pond (approx) AF= Length (ft.) x Width (ft,) x Avg. Depth (ft.) / 43,560

 

EQUIVALENT QUANTITIES OF DRY MATERIALS

(WETTABLE POWDERS) FOR VARIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER

WATER
QUANTITY OF MATERIAL
100 GAL 1 LB 2 LB 3 LB 4 LB 5 LB 6 LB
5 GAL 3 TBS 1.5 OZ 2.50 OZ 3.25 OZ 4 OZ 5 OZ
1 GAL 2 TSP 1 TBS 1.5 TBS 2 TBS 2.5 TBS 3 TBS

NOTE: Wettable pesticide materials vary considerably in density. Therefore the teaspoonful (TSP.) and tablespoonful (TBS.) measurements in this table are not exact dosage by weight but are within the bounds of safety and efficiency for mixing small amounts of spray.
