capacity

The act and result of gauging receives the name of capacity. It should be noted that this verb (gauging) has several uses: it can refer to establishing the number and value of merchandise, estimating the capacity of something, calibrating or granting privileges.

The most common use of capacity, thus, it is used with reference to the number of individuals who can enter an establishment used for the development of a event public.

For example: "The Spanish club proposed to increase the capacity so that more spectators can watch the games", "The municipality decided to establish a limit to the capacity to minimize the risk of incidents", "The Cuban singer offered a show with full capacity ".

If we review these examples, we can understand how the idea capacity. If a club wants to increase capacity, it wants more people to be able to enter your stadium. When the authorities of a city announce that they will limit the capacity at an event, they inform that access will not be free, but that there will be certain controls and restrictions. On the other hand, the "full capacity" of a concert refers to the fact that the tickets were sold out (there were no more seats available).

In this context it is common to use the expression until the capacity is exhausted to communicate to those interested in attending a certain event of entry free and free of charge that must arrive as early as possible to secure a seat, since in the absence of a price in money, the tickets will simply be delivered to the first ones who appear at the establishment.

We are going through an era characterized by an apparent contempt for art in all its forms: it is not uncommon to meet people who cannot assess the effort behind the composition of a song, the manufacture of a craft or the creation of a painting, and this results in them not wanting to pay to acquire these items.

To cope with this unfortunate feature of today's society, more and more groups are organizing free access artistic events, and it is then that we find the term capacity as the only limit that separates those who can access them from those who cannot, while in the rest of the fields, such as technology, food or even the cinema, there is still the obligation to face a price in money.

Capacity can also be linked to the capacity of a means of transport. Suppose two hundred people want to get on a boat for a lake excursion, but the boat can only carry 100 passengers. Given the lack of capacity, a hundred individuals will have to stay in land and he will not be able to board, since the ship does not have a place to house all of them simultaneously.

The term capacity also has a use in the field of chemistry; In this case, it is a circle-shaped mark that is meticulously engraved on a container, generally made of glass although it can be made of other materials, to indicate a particular volume, in a way that serves as a guide for various types of experiments that require great precision.

It is known by the name of volumetric flask, precisely, to the crystal or glass vase with a spherical shape and a high tubed neck that has a capacity, that is, a mark that indicates how high your content reaches a certain volume. Its use is very frequent in chemistry laboratories. It is important to note that the need for capacity arises from the problems that can occur if the volume not accurately measured.
