 Volume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Volume and capacity are sometimes distinguished, with capacity being used for how much a container can hold (with contents measured commonly in litres or its derived units), and volume being how much space an object displaces (commonly measured in cubic metres or its derived units).
Volume is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to pressure.
The volume of an object is equal to its mass divided by its average density.

Volume exported was 33.0% higher due to redirection of sales to the export market as a response to the fall in domestic Brazilian demand in 2003, more than offsetting the effect of an average drop in prices of 13.1% in Reais largely due to the appreciation of the Real against the dollar.
Paper export volume was 47.7% of the total in 4Q03, but a lower percentage in 1QO4, mainly because of a reduction in exports of uncoated printing and writing paper, partly related to the postponement of shipment and redirection of part of the exports of paperboard to the domestic market.

Petroleum is used mostly, by volume, for producing fuel oil and petrol (gasoline), both important "primary energy" sources (IEA Key World Energy Statistics).
Ideally, a ton of coal produces nearly 200 liters (1.25 bbl, 52 US gallons) of crude, with by-products ranging from tar to rare chemicals.
Proponents of peak oil theory also refer as an example of their theory, that when any given oil well produces oil in similar volumes to the amount of water used to obtain the oil, it tends to produce less oil afterwards, leading to the relatively quick exhaustion and/or commercial unviablility of the well in question.

 Past Oil Spills in Buzzards Bay
Part of the problem was that in scientific reports, the exact volume of the spill was of incidental significance, or rounding errors were often introduced in the calculations.
Today, the average often given for crude oil is 7.33 barrels or 308 gallons per metric ton (6.65 barrels or 279 gallons per short ton), but in the past, different averages and volumes were used based on "typical" grades of crude oil on the market.
Blumer and Sass in 1972 reported "600 metric tons" of oil was spilled, which at a typical 309 gallons per metric ton for East Coast No. 2, appears to coincide with the Coast Guards revised estimate and explains the 185,400 gallons in the upper range reported by Sanders.
