| volume unit | A unit of a logarithmic scale for expressing the power level of a complex audio-frequency electrical signal, such as that transmitting music or speech; the power in volume unit's equals the decibels of power above a reference level of one milliwatt, as measured with an appropriate meter.

| elution volume | <chemistry> The amount of eluant which has passed through the column in column chromatography before a particular peak in an elution profile appears, or before a specific substance of interest comes out with the eluant, separated out of the original mixed substance.
