[USMA:22184] Re: Water kegs for dispensers

[kilopascal]

2002-09-12   Some years ago when I was in Korea and Taiwan, the same bottles were labelled as 19 L.  There was no reference to gallons on them.  It's too bad someone outside the US can't come up with a bottle that will fit the dispenser that will hold 20 L.    The capital L is preferred over l or the "script l", as the l can be mistaken for a 1.  Some people don't leave a full space between the number and the symbol, and thus one litre may appear like the number eleven, depending on the font used.  The use of the capital L eliminates that problem.   John       ----- Original Message ----- From: Wizard of OS To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Thursday, 2002-09-12 15:01 Subject: [USMA:22180] Water kegs for dispensers hi,   you know those big water kegs upside down in the dispensers.     It seems that this one more US dominated market. Those kegs, I have noticed today, have a volume of 18,9 L which equals 5 gal (US).   has someone a reason.   btw, L is getting more and more popular in germany!+   bye
