Does size really matter?

[Philipp]

That's a choice.

Totally agree - if you're between the size of a 35mm film canister and a 0.1 L sistema you basically can go either side >> This is how I read it.

I would just choose the second definition.

See, now, that will just drive pprass insane.
Hide identical container, one micro and one small.
Bwhahahahaha

If it's 35mm or larger, then it's a small.

Being pedantic I know, but if it's larger than 35mm, then it's a small. Not 35mm or larger.

[Tuena]

I once found a cache described thus: This is a regular size micro cache.

It was neither a micro nor a regular but to big for a small so the description was quite accurate.

Being pedantic I know, ...

... but the guidelines aren't that pedantic:

volume of a film canister = 24 ml <> 3 ounces = 88 ml <> 100 ml

I think he is already there.Last time we saw him ,he thought he was asking a blonde out for date !

Dont know what the result was .

24ml? Wow that's small, sorry micro.
So what about something that's larger than a film canister yet is less than 100ml?
This makes my brain hurt.

What volume are those urine sample containers? Well that's what I call them. Clear round plastic with yellow screw top lid. I've seen them as micros and smalls.

[darth trader]

to my line of thinking...

if it only fits a log and or a pencil = micro.

if you can fit swag and or trackables = small.

If I have a TB to move, or kids with me, I don't aim at anything under a small. I (and the kids) hate it when we find an eclipse mint tin (or such like) listed as a small because we think we are going to find some room in the cache for something more than paper and a pencil.

UUSC is a clear plastic urine collection cup with a capacity of up to 120 ml of urine.

Small, by definition.

* Micro (35 mm film canister or smaller – less than approximately .1 L – typically containing only a logbook or a logsheet)
<snip>

An eclipse tin measures 40mm x 22mm x 78mm (external dimensions)
That's 0.06864 cubic mm
That's = 68.64ml

Larger than a 35mm film canister (at 24ml), but less than the suggested .1l (100ml).
So, depending on how far you read down the sentence as quoted above it's a micro or small.
And we wonder why some people don't know how to classify their caches.
Oh, my aching head.

The Facit Laboratory performed detailed analysis of an Eclipse tin and Kodak 35mm film canister this evening to determine internal volume.
In our clean room we carefully weighted each empty container to +/- 0.00000000001g and determined the following internal measurements by filling each with double-distilled water and observing the weight change.

35mm container - 38ml
Eclipse Tin - 58ml




Ok, so it was using kitchen scales and tap water on our kitchen bench.

35mm container - 38ml
Eclipse Tin - 58ml

So, by definition, an eclipse tin is bigger than a 35mm film canister, and is therefore small?

But is less than approximately .1 L and so is micro.
