Editing Volume (section)

=== Capacity and volume ===
Capacity is the maximum amount of material that a container can hold, measured in volume or [[weight]]. However, the contained volume does not need to fill towards the container's capacity, or vice versa. Containers can only hold a specific amount of physical volume, not weight (excluding practical concerns). For example, a {{Cvt|50000|oilbbl|L}} tank that can just hold {{Cvt|7200|MT|lb}} of [[fuel oil]] will not be able to contain the same {{Cvt|7200|MT|lb}} of [[naphtha]], due to naphtha's lower density and thus larger volume.<ref name="Treese-2018" />{{Rp|page=|pages=390–391}}
