See Webster's dictionary:

Butt: a measure of liquid capacity equal to 126 gallons or two hogs heads.

From another dictionary:

An English butt is 2 hogshead of 54 imperial gallons each or ~129.7 US gallons (i.e., a UK butt is apparently slightly bigger than a US one).

A Spanish butt is based on a wine cask and is equivalent to 140 US gallons or ~116.6 UK gallons (i.e., a Spanish butt is bigger still).

So next time someone says they have a "butt load" of stuff, just remember, that is about two 55-gallon barrels worth of stuff.

• 2 hogsheads (this is probably the easiest to remember for social occasions)
• 476.961 liters
• 126 gallons
• 104.917 UK gallons
• 13.5347 bushels
• 0.131592 cords

It depends what type of ton, there are 3 sorts of tons:

• 1 metric ton = 1000 Kg exactly

  A metric ton is often spelled 'tonne' to distinguish it from the other types of tons.

• 1 British ton = 1,016.047 kg (= 2,240 lbs). Also known as a long ton.
• 1 US ton = 907.1847 kg (= 2,000 lbs). Also known as a short ton.

The answer above is precise, but there are some other possibilities for "ton" like short US ton, metric ton, British ton, French ton, Portuguese ton and Spanish ton that may be converted into kilograms (kg). The question does not precise in which system the term ton refers to. Here are some of the possibilities:

1 ton [metric] = 1 000 kg

1 ton [short, US] = 907.18474 kg

1 ton [long, UK] = 1 016.046909 kg

1 ton [France] = 979 kg

1 ton [Portugal] = 793.15 kg

1 ton [Spain] = 919.9 kg

1 t = 1 000 kg

There are 100 centimeters in a meter.

In the metric system everything is done in multiples of 10.

1 kilometer = 1000 meters = 10³ meters

1 hectometer = 100 meters = 10² meters

1 decameter = 10 meters = 101 meters

1 decimeter = 1⁄10 of a meter = 10-1 meters

1 centimeter = 1⁄100 of a meter = 10-2 meters

1 millimeter = 1⁄1000 of a meter = 10-3 meters

1 micrometer = 1⁄1,000,000 of a meter = 10-6 meters

1 nanometer = 1⁄1,000,000,000 of a meter = 10-9 meters

1 angstrom = 1/10,000,000,000 of a metre = 10-10 meters

1 picometer = 1⁄1,000,000,000,000 of a meter = 10-12 meters

In everyday use, the most important of these are mega (106, rarely used in metres), kilo, centi, milli. To scientists/engineers, micro, nano, (angstrom 10-10) pico and femto (10-15) are also use

There are 100 centimeters in one meter.

1 meter = 100 centimeters

Some one wrote; kpl

Have an idea what they mean but that is not correct.

Inches needs to be converted in millibars..

We take this from the aviation world where the USA altimeter is set in inches of mercury as in a standard day in science, 59F, 29.92 inches of mercury at sea level.

The metric altimeter would be 15C, 1013.2 millibars at sea level.

If you wish to see a chart that is current on the www. see this related link below;

Further,

To convert inches of mercury to millibars, multiply the inches value by 33.8637526

To convert millibars to inches of mercury, multiply the millibar value by 0.0295301.

Now you can solve for the answer. Oh the abbreviation we use of Millibars is mb.

The metric unit for pressure is pascals, One millibar is one hundred pascal.

millimeter, meter, kilometer.... Meter

The SI unit of length is the meter (or metre). The SI system was once known as the MKS system (for Meter-Kilogram-Second). Additional information about the Metric System The purpose of the metric system is to have a single decimal-based unit of measurement for any and all physical measurements. Meters are used to measure length and distance, while kilograms are used to measure mass (and liters are used to measure volume). Seconds are still used to measure time. The meter. Meters, millimeters, kilometers= length

grams, milligrams, kilograms= weight or mass

liters, milliliters, kiloliters= volume

It really just depends on what you are measuring weight or mass, length, or volume.

* * * * *

grams, kilograms, etc are units for measuring mass, NOT weight. Weight is measured in Newtons.
centimeter and meter

most common measurements are millimetre (mm), centimetre (cm), meter (m) and kilometre (km)

10 millimetres = 1 centimetre

10 centimetres = 1 decimetre

10 decimetres = 1 metre

10 metres = 1 decametre

10 decametre = 1 hectometre

20 hectometres = 1 kilometre = 1000 metres

The meter, the word that "metric" comes from. Meter is from an old word meaning, "Measure".
i dont know the flippin thing

--------------------------------------------

The metric (SI) unit for length/distance is the meter. Prefixes will frequently be added to represent more or less distance.
The metre. It is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299 792 458th of a second
The meter, supposed to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the pole to the equator of the Earth. It actually missed this by a little, so it's now defined in terms of a certain wavelength of excited krypton.

The metre is defined in reference to the speed of light. One metre is the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in the time period of 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.
