1 lb/a of any substance is equal to 10 grams per 960 ft2. This can be rounded to 10 grams per 1000 ft2 with only minor error. Volumes of dry materials are not determined with
precision, because they settle erratically. These volume values are approximations based on an average of five samples. Different formulations of dry materials can differ in their volume
weights. Whenever possible, it is best to weigh dry materials and to measure liquids by volumes. Equivalent volume measurements: 1 quart (qt) = 4 cups = 946.3 ml; 1 cup= 8 fluid ounces
(oz); 1 oz = 2 tablespoon (tbsp); and 1 tbsp = 3 teaspoon (tsp).
