193963 2003-11-22 21:52:00 Hi people,

A wee query, Mrs merlin would like to know the capicty of her fridge/freezer.

Now I know there is a way of measuring this space, but it elodes me at the moment. :8}

Some help please.

cheers merlin-nz ;-)

193966 2003-11-22 22:39:00 And then we want to know if measured in Cubic feet, Cubic inches or even cubic meters.

For me it just doesn't matter so long as I can get the required amount of food and drink in there. :-)

I'm not planning on putting a whole Cow, Sheep, or Pig in there real soon now.

Don't think any of the above will fit.

Mrs Merlin tells me cubic litres. ?:|

193968 2003-11-22 23:20:00 I litre (no such thing as a cubic litre as a litre is already volume) = 100mm x 100mm x 100mm
or
10cm x 10cm x 10cm

10 x 10 x 10 (cm) = 1,000 cubic cm = 1000 cc = 1 litre

so

[height (cm) x width (cm) x depth (cm)] divided by 1,000 = litres

193969 2003-11-22 23:23:00 1 cubic meter = 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm.

So get out a tape and measure inside the fridge in centimeters. I wish you luck there. Don't forget to take out the trays. :-)

I suggest you do the measurements in millimeters and I'll do the Math.

One thousand millimeters to the meter.

We need three measurements in each compartment.

Don't forget the butter compartment if you have one. Ice compartment and so on.

193970 2003-11-22 23:42:00 >>>1 cubic meter = 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm.

Correction needed
1 cubic metre = 1m x 1m x 1m
=100cm x 100cm x 100 cm

I would measure in metres (decimals thereof), then find the volume in cubic metres (LxWxH)
Finally divide by 1000 to arrive at litres.
cheers

193971 2003-11-22 23:44:00 Unless I learnt incorrectly 1 cubic meter = 1m x 1m x 1m mikebartnz (21)
193972 2003-11-22 23:49:00 Hi Goddie and elephant,

Yes we did it that way and now have the volume.

These new devices these days don't have a thing on them to tell you the volume, the old fridge/freezers did.

Anyway thanks for the help, have made a note goddie so if it cames up :D again I'll remember :8}

cheers merlin-nz ;-)
