	Measure Volume and Area
		The surface area and enclosed volume are reported in the dialog and written to the Reply Log.
		If the surface has holes, the volume will not be computed because it is not known what is inside and what is outside the surface.
		For contour surfaces from Volume Viewer, subregion selection or Volume Eraser can be used to limit the calculation to the region of interest.

	Dry measure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the original metric system, the unit of dry volume was the stere, but this is not part of the modern metric system; the liter and the cubic meter (m³) are now used.
		Because it is difficult to measure actual volume and easy to measure mass, many of these units are now also defined as units of mass, specific to each commodity, so a bushel of apples is a different weight from a bushel of wheat (weighed at a specific moisture level).
		Indeed, the bushel, the best-known unit of dry measure because it is the quoted unit in commodity markets, is in fact a unit of mass in those contexts.

	Lebesgue measure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the Lebesgue measure is the standard way of assigning a length, area or volume to subsets of Euclidean space.
		Sets which can be assigned a volume are called Lebesgue measurable; the volume or measure of the Lebesgue measurable set A is denoted by λ(A).
		The Hausdorff measure (see Hausdorff dimension) is a generalization of the Lebesgue measure that is useful for measuring the subsets of R

	STAND INTERVENTIONS WWW PAGE - VOLUME DETERMINATION
		A form factor is the ratio of tree volume to the volume of a geometrical solid with the same diameter and height.
		Tree volume tables that are based on the single variable of dbh are commonly called local or single-entry volume tables and those that require the user to obtain tree height as well as dbh are referred to as standard or multiple-entry volume tables.
		Volume tables, in the form of equations, tables or graphs are tools that allow us to estimate the volume of trees using a few predictor variables such as dbh, height and occasionally form.

	Measuring volume using a graduated cylinder

	Volume
		Measuring the area of objects using non-standard or informal units is the third stage in the learning sequence.
		The usual sequence used in primary school is to introduce the litre as a measurement of volume before using cubic centimetres and cubic metres.
		When the children are able to measure efficiently and effectively using standard units, their learning experiences can be directed to situations that encourage them to "discover" measurement formulae and investigate the relationship between litres and cubic centimetres.

	mount st. helens magma volume activity
		Although there is no standard scale for measuring the sizes of volcanic eruptions comparable to the Richter scale for earthquakes, one useful measure is the volume of new magma or lava ejected onto Earth's surface.
		Thus the volume of new magma erupted by Mount St. Helens can be found by measuring the volume of ash surrounding the volcano and scattered across the country side.
		To get the volume for each area multiply the measured area by the mean density, and divide by 2 million to convert to cubic kilometers.

	Measuring Standing Trees: Determining Diameter, Merchantable Height, and Volume, F-35-02
		The board-foot volume of a tree or log is an expression of the number of board feet of lumber that can be cut from that tree or log.
		The lumber volume that can be cut from a tree or a log depends on a great many variables, including how the tree is cut into logs, the dimensions of the lumber, how much of the log is lost in sawdust and waste, and the efficiency of the sawmill and workers.
		Gross volume is the estimated tree volume without deduction for defects (i.e., the DBH and merchantable heights of all of the trees were measured ignoring defects, volumes were determined, and the volumes were added up).

	Measure Aquarium Size and Volume.
		Click here to see Karen's question about the volume of her hex-aquarium with 12" sides, which is twice as long as the sides of yours, and so has a base with four-times as much area.
		You probably measured on the outside, so the volume of water is somewhat smaller, and 5 gallons is probably pretty accurate.
		It was a regularly shaped aquarium, but the measurements are in the same ballpark as the measurements of the hex-aquarium that you asked about, and this increases my confidence in my answer, 5.7 gallons.

	Annex III - Measuring fuelwood and charcoal
		Weight may be a more convenient measure to use to ascertain solid volume, for the weight of a bundle of wood (or crop residue) is easier and quicker to determine (using a spring balance) than trying to determine the gross volume of an irregularly shaped headload of fuelwood.
		This entails the submerging of a fuelwood bundle in a tank of water and determining the volume of displaced water.
		The second problem with using weight as a measure to determine solid volume is that the weight depends on density, and the density within and between wood species is not uniform.
