About US fluid ounce (us fl oz)
The US fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume equal to approximately 29.574 milliliters, one sixteenth of a US liquid pint. It is the primary small-volume unit on US food labels, beverage cans, and pharmaceutical liquid measurements. A standard US soda can is 12 fl oz; a coffee shop "tall" is 12 fl oz; a standard shot is 1.5 fl oz. The US fluid ounce is distinct from the imperial fluid ounce (28.413 mL) and should not be confused with the ounce as a unit of mass.
A US soda can is 12 fl oz (355 mL). A US shot glass holds 1.5 fl oz (44 mL). A US water bottle is commonly 16.9 fl oz (500 mL).
About Cubic yard (in³)
A cubic yard (yd³) is the volume of a cube with 1-yard sides (3 feet), equal to approximately 764.6 liters or 27 cubic feet. It is the standard unit for ordering concrete, topsoil, mulch, and gravel in the United States. Ready-mix concrete trucks carry 8–11 yd³ per load. A typical house driveway requires 3–5 yd³ of concrete. Landfill capacity and solid waste volume are also measured in cubic yards.
A standard concrete mixer truck carries 8–10 yd³. A garden mulch or topsoil project might require 1–5 yd³.
US fluid ounce – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fluid ounce and an ounce?
A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume; an ounce (oz) is a unit of mass/weight. One US fluid ounce of water happens to weigh approximately 1.04 avoirdupois ounces — close but not equal. For other liquids, the mass per fl oz varies with density.
How many fluid ounces are in a US cup?
There are exactly 8 US fluid ounces in one US cup (240 mL). A pint is 16 fl oz, a quart is 32 fl oz, and a gallon is 128 fl oz.

Cubic yard – Frequently Asked Questions
How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard?
One cubic yard equals exactly 27 cubic feet (since 1 yard = 3 feet, and 3³ = 27). It also equals approximately 764.6 liters.
Why is concrete measured in cubic yards?
The US construction industry uses cubic yards for ordering concrete as the traditional imperial bulk material unit. A standard ready-mix truck carries 8–10 cubic yards per load, priced typically at $100–$150/yd³.
How much does a cubic yard weigh?
Weight varies by material. Concrete weighs roughly 2 tonnes/yd³ (≈ 4,050 lb). Dry soil is about 1.1 tonnes/yd³. Mulch is about 0.4 tonnes/yd³. Gravel is about 1.4 tonnes/yd³.
How many cubic yards of concrete does a driveway need?
A typical two-car driveway (20 × 20 ft) at 4-inch thickness requires approximately 5 cubic yards of concrete. At 6-inch thickness, about 7.5 cubic yards.
How do I convert cubic yards to liters?
One cubic yard equals approximately 764.6 liters. Multiply yd³ by 764.6. For example, 5 yd³ = 5 × 764.6 = 3,823 liters.
