Hi Simam and Lara,
Interesting conversation, I used a different (imo, less clumsy) version of this technique years ago using a noogleberry dome. Tried the bowl thing and let's just say it was rather annoying to get an account of the water being displayed from the bowl. Then I thought of why not use a breast dome, should be easier to use, and the principle is the same, right?..well here's the results of that experiment.

Standing in a bathtub fill domes with warm water, (note: each 2 cups of water weighs 1.08 pounds). Slowly plunge the breast into the water filled dome. Whatever water is left in the dome is the water to be measured. Using a 1 cup measure, divide the total ounces by 16 ounces.
As follows: 54 ounces (3.4 pounds) of water fill an XL (noogleberry dome), take the difference of whatever water is displaced (after plunging breast into the water filled dome), whatever the difference left is the weight of the boob.
I take the remaining water and measure out the difference per 8 ounce cup, which leaves 43.9 ounces, the difference between 54 minus 43.9 ounces leaves 10.1 ounces (my total weight right breast, the left was slightly less). Apologies for the standard measurement, i don't have enough time for metric conversion this morning.![]()
The following info is from a message board:
Even though cc (cubic centimeter or cubic centiliter) is a measure of volume and the pound is a measure of weight, there is a way to calculate the relationship pretty closely:
1,000 cc = 1 liter
1 liter (of water) weighs 1 kilogram
1 kg = 2.2 pounds
- or -
1 pound = 454.5 cc (approx.).......??? hmmm.. I think it's more like 650cc's (imo).
Fat is less dense than water so it will be a bit lighter than water would be.
A quick google search revealed that the specific gravity of human fat is 0.903 (measured in comparison to water).
So if water is 1g/cc then 4500cc * 0.903g/cc = 4063.5g fat
I believe XL domes are approximately 875 cc's which equals 44.8 oz (2.8 pounds). I weighed mine and I came out with 10.1 oz per breast. Which won't (doesn't) line up with the current measuring estimate listed below.
At room temperature, 16 U.S. fluid ounces of water weighs 1.04 pounds. While there is a well-known saying about water that says that "a pint's a pound the whole world round," and 16 ounces equals 1 pint, the weight of that pint is not always precisely 1 pound.

From wiki:
Determine the weight of your breasts by cup size. Once you're fairly sure where you fall on the spectrum of bra sizes, use the chart below to figure out how much your breasts might weigh. These weights were determined by calculating the volume of the breast using the average underwire size and cup diameter of common bra brands.
* Bra sizes 32A, 30B, 28C = about .5 pounds per breast
* Bra sizes 34A, 32B, 30C, 28D = about .6 pounds per breast
* Bra sizes 36A, 34B, 32C, 30D, 28E = about .7 pounds per breast
* Bra sizes 38A, 36B, 34C, 32D, 30E, 28F = about .9 pounds per breast
* Bra sizes 40A, 38B, 36C, 34D, 32E, 30F, 28G = about 1.2 pounds per breast
* Bra sizes 42A, 40B, 38C, 36D, 34E, 32F, 30G, 28H = about 1.5 pounds per breast
* Bra sizes 44A, 42B, 40C, 38D, 36E, 34F, 32G, 30H, 28I = about 1.7 pounds per breast
* Bra sizes 44B, 42C, 40D, 38E, 36F, 34G, 32H, 30I, 28J = about 2 pounds per breast
