Carleton From: owner-u...@colostate.edu [mailto:owner-u...@colostate.edu] On Behalf Of John M. Steele Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 18:53 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:47808] The Oil Leak (Estimate) Increases Again The article uses gallons, but the leak estimate has been increased to a range of 35000 - 60000 barrels per day. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100615/ap_on_bi_ge/us_gulf_oil_spill_flow (In my view, the way they express it in gallons implies rediculously more precision than exists.) Part of that is a 20% increase when BP cut the pipe to fit the cap but the increase in estimate is more than that. Consistent with the zero to one significant figure, as previously discussed, that is 6 - 10 damĀ³/d. Sorry, Gene, I have no clue what the density is. You'll have to convert to mass on your own.
