Morning PDT David Shaw and Chris Thompson,

Thank you both for the replies to the information I found in a very old folder concerning cargo capacity that indicated the 6.75 m^3 represented 50 mt.

From David Shaw

>"The 'standard' density of water is one metric tonne per cubic meter so, if your cargo volume is 6.75 cubic

>metres, then filled with water it would weigh 6.75 tonnes. On the other hand, if the cargo volume was a cube

>6.75m on a side, filled with water, it would weigh just over 307.5 tonnes. So, either way,  the 50 tonnes figure is,

>there's no nice way of saying this, wrong.

>Sorry."

I ran the numbers through a couple of online calculators which agrees with the answer that 6.75 m^3 = 6.75 mt and that 50 mt. Since the numbers did not match I wanted to check that I was not doing something wrong. There is not a problem with not sugaring coating the fact the information is wrong.

From Chris Thompson

>Deionised water has a nominal mass of 0.9990 g/cm3

>Hope that helps

As I mentioned in my reply to David I did go online to determine if my fragment of a notes was correct. I did find a couple of sites that had tables showing that pure water in a liquid state at 0 degrees C had a density of 0.9999 g/cm^3. The specific gravity at 60 degrees F has a reference 1.002.

From your replies I'm gathering that the information is not from Traveller and that my note is missing information.

Thank you both for the help.
