Best Answer

Your measurements must be in the same units as the system of standards in use.
The most widely used system of standards is called the SI system and all units are defined.
If your measurements are in the same units used then it is a simple matter to compare them.

Since I have lived. worked, and taught in the USA for 75 years , I must be familiar with both SI System and the American Engineering systems of units. Both systems have their own strong points and weak points. I do like to use g sub c in both systems to keep units straight.

SI g sub c : gc = 1.000 kg - m / N - s^2

American Engineering System gc : gc = 32.17 lbm - ft/ lbf - sec^2

I am proficient in the use of both systems.

What are the standards of measurements used in radiology?

Unit. Length Volume Density


How do you convert length to volume?

Length and volume are not equivalent measurements. Length is a two dimensional measurement while volume is a three dimensional measurement.


What are the three measurements needed to calculate volume?

Length*Width*height


What measurements are used to express volume?

Cubic measures of length, or litres.


What is the difference between cc and ml?

They are the same. They are measurements related to volume. The metric system has been coordinated so that length measurements are easily compared to volume measurements. The amount of volume of fluid that would fit in one cubic centimeter will be the same amount of volume of fluid that would fit in one milliliter. You may interchange them. 5ml=5cc


How much milliliter in 80 inches?

ml is short for millilitres, which is a volume. 80 inches is a length, so the two measurements cannot be compared. You're asking how many strwaberries in 50 apples.


Can you measure a length of a hallway in liters?

NO, VOLUME cannot be converted or compared to LENGTH -they are totally different
