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.
Ton Register
A ton register (ton reg) is a unit of volume used primarily in shipping and cargo measurement, equivalent to 100 cubic feet or approximately 2.83 cubic meters.
History/Origin
The ton register originated in maritime and shipping industries as a measure of a ship's internal volume for regulatory and taxation purposes, evolving from older measurement systems to standardize cargo capacity assessments.
Current Use
Today, the ton register is used mainly in shipping and maritime industries to determine a vessel's cargo capacity, port fees, and regulatory compliance, although it has largely been replaced by other volume measurement units in general use.
