Converting from Cubic Decameter (dam³) to Drop, Metric (gtt)

What is Cubic Decameter (dam³)

A cubic decameter (dam³) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It represents the volume of a cube with edges that are each one decameter long. In terms of volume, it is defined as:

This unit is typically used in scientific contexts or for large quantities of liquids, such as water or industrial fluids.

What is Drop, Metric (gtt)

The drop, or metric drop (gtt), is a much smaller unit of volume used primarily in medicine and chemistry. It is a way to measure small amounts of liquid and is often used in dosages of medication. It is defined as:

While drops are commonly used in everyday scenarios such as cooking or administering medications, the metric drop is standardized for precise measurements in scientific applications.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between cubic decameters and metric drops, the following formulas are used:

• To convert from cubic decameters to drops:

  Drops=Cubic Decameters×20000000000

• To convert from drops to cubic decameters:

  Cubic Decameters=Drops×0.00000000005

These formulas provide a direct way to switch between the two units for various applications.

Examples

1. To convert 1 cubic decameter to drops:

   1 dam3=1×20000000000 gtt=2×1010 gtt

2. To convert 9 cubic decameters to drops:

   9 dam3=9×20000000000 gtt=1.8×1011 gtt

3. To convert 4 drops to cubic decameters:

   4 gtt=4×0.00000000005 dam3=2×10−10 dam3

4. To convert 13 drops to cubic decameters:

   13 gtt=13×0.00000000005 dam3=6.5×10−10 dam3
