Hundred-Cubic Foot
A hundred-cubic foot is a unit of volume equal to 100 cubic feet, commonly used in measuring large quantities of gases or liquids.
History/Origin
The hundred-cubic foot has historically been used in industries such as natural gas and HVAC to quantify large volumes, especially in the United States, as a convenient measure for gas quantities.
Current Use
Today, the hundred-cubic foot is primarily used in the natural gas industry to measure gas volumes, though it is less common with the adoption of standard SI units like cubic meters.
Attoliter
An attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, representing an extremely small volume measurement.
History/Origin
The attoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create standardized prefixes for very small quantities, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'atto-' which denotes 10^-18.
Current Use
Attoliters are primarily used in scientific research, particularly in fields like biochemistry and nanotechnology, to measure tiny volumes such as those of individual molecules or small biological samples.
