What is Picoliteer?

Picoliter is a unit of measurement on the volume of liquid and is a specific distribution of measurement of the liquid volume known as a liter. In general, it is a very small measurement and is considered to be one trillon of a liter of liquid. This type of measurement is used in various scientific and research areas, although most people do not normally use it when referring to an observable amount of liquid. When discussing on printing and copying machines, often with reference to the size of a single drop of ink, it can sometimes be marked in a discussion of printing and copying machines that can sometimes mention, because those that produce smaller drops of ink may occur images of greater resolution. For comparison, the average rain drop has several hundred thousand picoliters in volume, provided the average rain drop size about 4 millimeters in diameter. This scale may be almost useful to add chemicals, but for most people it is not a practical measurement. As such, Picoliteer is usually a measurement found in the scienceResearch and technology.

In relation to other measurements, Picoliteer is about one trillion liter in volume. Scientific notation of this size would be that one picoliteer equals 1x10 -12 liters. The typical abbreviation for this measurement is "PL", although sometimes it is also used "PL". In relation to metric measurements in which a liter is generally considered to be one cubic decimeter and a kilololiter equals a cubic meter is equivalent to 1,000 cubic micrometers. The micrometer is one millionth of a meter and one cubic micrometer is equal to one femoliter, which is the equivalent of one quadrillionte of a liter.

One of the few places that can be outside the Encounter and Picoliteer fields as a measuring unit is in connection with high -quality printers and copiers. For any printer that uses direct ink applications, measuring the volume of a single drop of ink used in printing equivalentthe bread of a dot or pixel color on the printed page. This means that printers that use smaller drops of ink can create smaller dots of colors, thus have a larger resolution for printed images. Therefore, manufacturers often advertise the ink volume for comparison and some printers produce drops of only a few picoliters in volume.
