Gil,
Regarding your question of September 26th @ 9:07 a.m.
‘’What is the point of the cubic foot? It’s not itself equivalent to any weight, although it is equal to 60 fluid pints.’’
Gil, you better tell that to Christopher Columbus, Sir Francis Drake, and every sailor upon the high seas.
1 av. bushel = 64#
1 av. bushel = 1 cu.’ seawater
1 dry bushel = 64# wheat
1 dry bushel = 64 dry pt.
1 dry bushel = 56/45 cu.’
1 cu.’ = 64# seawater
1 cu.’ = 62 1/2# distilled water @ 39.2° max.dens.
1 cu.’ = 45/56 dry bushel
35.000 cu.’ = 1 displacement tun
35.000 cu.’ = 1 long ton seawater
35.840 cu.’ = 1 long ton distilled water @ 39.2° max.dens.
