Imperial to Apothecary Fluid Measure.—Multiply the measure in<br />
Imperial fl.ounces by 0.96. The product is the measure in apothecary<br />
fl.ounces.<br />
Metric to Apothecary Fluid Measure.—Multiply the measure in cubic<br />
centimetres by 16 1 / 4 to reduce to minims, or by 0.034 to reduce to<br />
fl.ounces. The litre equals about 2 pints, 1 7 / 8 Am. fl.ounces.<br />
Metric to Imperial Fluid Measure.—Multiply the measure in cubic<br />
centimeters by 0.035 to reduce to Imperial fl.ounces.<br />
Apothecary to Metric Fluid Measure.—Multiply the measure in fl.ounces<br />
by 29.53. The product is the measure in cubic centimeters. In ordinary<br />
calculations 30 cubic centimeters equal 1 fl.ounce.<br />
Imperial to Metric Fluid Measure.—Multiply the measure in fl.ounces by<br />
28.35. The product is the measure in cubic centimeters.<br />
HEAT MEASURES.<br />
The only scales now used to any extent for registering temperature are<br />
those <strong>of</strong> Fahrenheit, Reaumur, and Celsius; the latter being known in<br />
most countries as the Centigrade scale. The Fahrenheit scale is chiefly<br />
used in America and Great Britain, the Reaumur in Germany, and the<br />
Centigrade in France and other countries <strong>of</strong> Europe, and in scientific<br />
calculations in nearly all countries.<br />
Thermometric scales are calculated from the expansion <strong>of</strong> mercury or<br />
alcohol in a small vacuum tube having usually a bulb or reservoir at the<br />
bottom.<br />
The CENTIGRADE scale assumes the temperature at which water<br />
freezes as 0°, and the temperature at which it boils with the barometer<br />
at 30 inches, as 100°, making 100° between the freezing and boiling<br />
point <strong>of</strong> water.<br />
The FAHRENHEIT scale assumes the temperature at which water<br />
freezes as 32°, and the temperature at which it boils with the barometer<br />
