How many ml in a faceted glass of water

At a time when spaceships plow the expanses of the Universe and nanotechnologies are rapidly developing, there are objects around us that have not changed since their creation. And while they do not lose their relevance. So, everyone in the kitchen has a faceted glass - a popular unit of measurement. Consider how many ml in a faceted glass.

The glass is ordinary faceted

A glass with edges in the form to which we are accustomed, was born more than 70 years ago. Since then, no self-respecting hostess in the home without such an irreplaceable and cut as a diamond vessel. And before you figure out how much of what you can pour or pour into it, briefly describe the object of our study.

It is rumored that the prototype of a cut glass was presented to Peter I as the strongest unbreakable glass product. The edges just gave him a fortress. However, the king-father of a man was strong and he broke the glass. But something he liked this product, and since then began the history of faceted glass.

Official sources claim that the leadership in the production of cut glass belongs to the Soviet era. And it was produced in the 43rd year of the twentieth century at a glass-blowing plant in the city of Gus-Crystal according to the drawings of the famous sculptor of the time Vera Mukhina.

The glass was designed as a universal dish, which, strictly speaking, it became. Faceted glass firmly entered the life of the Soviet man, and was popular in all sectors of society. First of all, they were provided with all catering facilities. Not a single office of a self-respecting boss managed without a carafe of water and a standing faceted glass.

The grandmothers at the bazaar measured glasses of fried sunflower seeds, street machines with soda poured water into them. And even today trains cannot be imagined without a cup of hot tea in a beautiful cup holder. Moreover, due to the use of thick glass, it was possible to achieve the relative strength of a cut glass. Now it does not break, even if it falls on an asphalt surface from a height of 1 meter.

Classic faceted glass has such dimensional characteristics:

• bottom diameter - 55 mm;
• diameter on the upper edge - 73 mm;
• distance from the bottom to the top edge - 110 mm;
• the width of the smooth rim at the top of the glass is 15 mm;
• the number of edges is 16-20.

Note that the ratio of the height to the diameter of the bottom of the glass is 2 to 1, and its dimensions correspond to the anthropometric data of the human palm. Perhaps that is why the faceted glass is so convenient to hold in your hand.

Volume of cut glass

Based on the size, thickness of the glass and almost cylindrical shape, the volume of a faceted glass is 200-250 cm³. The logical question is why, with a constant vessel size, its capacity varies by as much as 50 cm.³. Focus, as they say, in the fullness of poured glass. For example, how many ml of water in a faceted glass? If you fill the glass exactly along the bottom edge of the smooth rim, then the volume of water, like any other liquid itself, will be equal to 200 ml.

How many milliliters in a glass filled to the top? We will understand this example. State vodka in wine glasses was measured with glasses filled to the top. Since then, it is known that 12 glasses are equivalent to ¼ of a bucket or 3 liters. Therefore, in 1 glass how many milliliters? That's right - 250 ml.

Glass as a measure of bulk products

Besides the fact that the required amount of liquids can be measured with a faceted glass, it is also used to measure any bulk solids. It is only important to understand that the statement is 250 cm.³ = 250 ml = 250 g will be correct only for liquid. For all other products, 250 milliliters is not always 250 grams, since each of them has a different density and specific gravity.

For example, how much flour in a 250 ml faceted glass? We already know that 250 milliliters in a glass can be only if it is filled to the brim. So, if in a faceted glass pour wheat flour exactly along the upper edge of the rim, then its weight will be 150 grams. The same amount of rye flour will weigh about 130 grams.

If we take the lower part of the smooth rim of a cut glass as a reference point, that is, a volume equal to 200 milliliters, then the weight of wheat flour poured to this level will be approximately 120 grams, and rye - about 105 grams.

We will consolidate our knowledge in practice. For example, for a recipe, you need to take 200 grams of milk and 500 grams of rye flour. In a glass equivalent, it would look like this: one faceted glass of milk filled along the bottom edge of a smooth rim, and almost four full glasses of rye flour.

And in order to make it easy to navigate with the weight of the ingredients during the preparation of various culinary masterpieces, we suggest using a table of measures of bulk products in a cut glass and other equivalents of their weight.

With the good old friend in the kitchen, our housewives will not need measuring cups and spoons or scales. All these items only clutter the already small kitchen. And a glass of space does not take much: I used it, I washed it and put it back on the shelf. Not that scales. They need somewhere to attach so as not to interfere, but were always at hand. But the worst thing about them is the batteries, which are always discharged at the wrong time, and then we again remember the glass.
