Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
Ccf
A ccf (hundred cubic feet) is a unit of volume commonly used in the measurement of natural gas and water, equivalent to 100 cubic feet.
History/Origin
The ccf originated in the early 20th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas and water consumption, especially in the United States, to simplify billing and volume calculations.
Current Use
Today, the ccf is primarily used in the utility industry for billing natural gas and water services, and it remains a standard unit in the United States for these measurements.
