All discussions re Acetone measurements are in US fluid ounces.
Quote:
*/"One fluid ounce (US) is equal to 29 milliliters/*. Ergo, a 100 ml.
graduated cylinder would be a suitable choice for this project."
There is a link for metric conversions on the same page as the Acetone
info below the graph RHS of page:
