I have some vague memory that one mL of water does in fact not quite weigh one gram. There was a calibration error early in the set-up of the system. Same for the meter which is supposed to be some exact fraction of the distance from the equator to the pole, but is not exact either. James Osbourne, Holmes

The English system of liquid measure is based on the "Pint is a Pound" concept. A pint of water weighs a pound (ok, at some given temperature?) which is 454 (plus some fraction) grams. A liter of water weighs 1000 grams, by definition. So a pint is 454 ml. There are 2 cups to a pint so a cup is 227 ml. -----Original Message----- From: Liz Pavek <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, July 31, 1999 7:25 AM Subject: CS>How many mililiters in a cup? Look on a measuring cup, because they all have both US and Metric measurements right on them. Liz -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
