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.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
