Autogeek wash bucket measurements are not even close...

Boys, boys...if some members want precise measurements and some don't, who cares? No need for bashing, some of us like different waxes or shampoos or machines or pads, so it's ok for some of us to like different measuring precision, isn't it?

Anyhow, great post. :dblthumb2:
 
OP..did'nt you recently post that you thought "something was seriously wrong with you" with your obsession with detailing products....and now your 5 gallon issue?

Yea, I went to see a shrink. :rolleyes:

Yea, there's something seriously wrong with me because I like to have precise measurements. :rolleyes:

If you only having something useless to say, don't post in my thread.
 
Only all the best...life if tough, for you, for me...Just hoping it all works out...I am counting on it!

(if my bad, sorry...its just my sarcasm)

A gallon of water is 8lbs. Therefore a five gallon bucket of water should weigh 40lbs; obviously zero out your scale for the weight of the bucket itself or subtract it from the total you get. This is the most certain weigh IMO to check your measurements since measuring containers can all be off; then we are faced with using a scale we know is accurate. ;P
Apprx 9.5oz. per gl. isn't going to change the world with any car shampoo IMO. It's the true chemicals used in detailing that need to more carefully diluted IMO/E. That said, try checking the accuracy of your measurements/ratios on your spray bottles. That is where I usually measure my solutions in measuring cups, not by the side of the bottle unless I have measured the bottle for accuracy beforehand.:)

Since this thread of Mark is about accuracy....

Don't know where you live, but in the USA:
The weight of one (US) gallon of fresh water at 62 degrees F, and one atmosphere (14.7 lbs per square inch) is derived by multiplying 3.78541178 l/gallon by 2.20462262 lbs/kilogram. Which equals 8.345404 lbs. {Source: The US Office of Weights and Measures, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce.}

Five gallons of water weighs 41.72702 lbs.

[This difference of weight between your bucket of water (40 lbs) and Mark's (41.7) might be one of the reasons for his 'big guns']

Glad I don't live in Great Britain...an Imperial 5 gallon bucket of water weighs 50.11 lbs.

Also...
As you can probably tell....I'm one that doesn't ascribe to the old wives tale: "A pint is a pint, anywhere in the world"


Good thread, as always, Mark!!:props:

The marking process (applying the markings on the sides) would likely have the greatest variability in the process. This is like a transfer roller that prints the markings so is likely more subject to variation.

The molding process will likely be quite precise.

I could see how it could vary if they made different size buckets and tried to use the same marking setup.
