Moio (unit)
Moio or mojo, formerly moyo, from the Latin "wikt:modius#Latin, modius", was a metrological term used for grain and liquid in Galicia, Portugal and its colonies. In ancient Rome, the moio ("Ancient Roman units of measurement#Dry measure, modius") was a measure of capacity equivalent to 8.7 to 9.2 liters, liter. Throughout the history of Portugal, ''moio'' has designated different measures, whether of capacity for solids and liquids, or for surfaces of land. As a measure of capacity, it was usually defined by a number of alqueire, alqueires or almude, almudes and divided into 4 quarteiro, quarteiros. The transformation of the volume measure into a surface measure (agrarian measure) occurred by determining the average area of land that could be sown with a ''moio'' of seed. * 1 moio = 15 fanga (unit), fangas/fanegas = 60 alqueires, alqueire = 120 meios alqueires (1/2 alqueire) = 240 quartas = 480 oitavas = 960 sixteenths (half eights) = 1,920 Maquía (unit), maquias.

Cubic Inch
The cubic inch (symbol in3) is a unit of volume in the Imperial units and United States customary units systems. It is the volume of a cube with each of its three dimensions (length, width, and height) being one inch long which is equivalent to 1/231 of a US gallon. The cubic inch and the cubic foot are used as units of volume in the United States, although the common SI units of volume, the liter, milliliter, and cubic meter, are also used, especially in manufacturing and high technology. One cubic inch is approximately . One cubic foot is equal to exactly because 123 = 1,728. One US gallon is equal to exactly . Notation conventions * The following abbreviations have been used to denote the cubic inch: cubic in, cu inch, cu in, cui, cu. in. * The IEEE standard symbol is: in3 * In internal combustion engines, the following abbreviations are used to denote cubic inch displacement: c.i.d., cid, CID, c.i., ci Equivalence with other units of volume 1 cubic inch (assuming a ...

Units Of Volume
A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimension (mathematics), dimensions. Units of capacity may be used to specify the volume of fluids or bulk goods, for example water, rice, sugar, grain or flour. Units According to the International System of Units, SI system, the base unit (measurement), base unit for measuring length is the metre.

Portuguese Customary Units
Portuguese customary units were used in Portugal, Brazil and other parts of the Portuguese Empire until the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century. The various systems of weights and measures used in Portugal until the 19th century combine remote Roman influences with medieval influences from northern Europe and Islam. These influences are obvious in the names of the units. The measurement units themselves were, in many cases, inherited from a distant past. From the Romans, Portugal inherited names like ( la, palmus), ( la, cubitus), , ( la, uncia), ( la, modius), ( la, quartarius), ( la, sextarius). From medieval northern Europe, Portugal inherited names like ( en, mark, french: marc), ( en, bushel, french: boisseau), ( en, tun, french: tonneau), ( en, pint, french: pinte), (Fr. french: chopine), etc. From the Moors, Portugal receive unit names like (Arabic language, Arabic: ), (Arabic language, Arabic: ), (Arabic language, Arabic: ), (Arabic language, Ar ...

Calcium Hydroxide
Calcium hydroxide (traditionally called slaked lime) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca( OH)2. It is a colorless crystal or white powder and is produced when quicklime (calcium oxide) is mixed or slaked with water. It has many names including hydrated lime, caustic lime, builders' lime, slaked lime, cal, and pickling lime. Calcium hydroxide is used in many applications, including food preparation, where it has been identified as E number E526. Limewater, also called milk of lime, is the common name for a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide. Properties Calcium hydroxide is poorly soluble in water, with a retrograde solubility increasing from 0.66 g/L at 100 °C to 1.89 g/L at 0 °C. With a solubility product ''K''sp of 5.02 at 25 °C, its dissociation in water is large enough that its solutions are basic according to the following dissolution reaction: : Ca(OH)2 → Ca2+ + 2 OH− At ambient temperature, calcium hydroxide (portlandite) ...

Ancient Roman Units Of Measurement
The ancient Roman units of measurement were primarily founded on the Hellenic system, which in turn was influenced by the Egyptian system and the Mesopotamian system. The Roman units were comparatively consistent and well documented. Length The basic unit of Roman linear measurement was the ''pes'' or Roman foot (plural: ''pedes''). Investigation of its relation to the English foot goes back at least to 1647, when John Greaves published his ''Discourse on the Romane foot''. Greaves visited Rome in 1639, and measured, among other things, the foot measure on the tomb of Titus Statilius Aper, that on the statue of Cossutius formerly in the gardens of Angelo Colocci, the congius of Vespasian previously measured by Villalpandus, a number of brass measuring-rods found in the ruins of Rome, the paving-stones of the Pantheon and many other ancient Roman buildings, and the distance between the milestones on the Appian Way. He concluded that the Cossutian foot was the "true" Roman foo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
