From a practical standpoint, would you prefer to see scrubber specs based on volume of the cannister, or weight of absorbant held?
The cannister volume is the only fixed item.
That is the only thing that is set by the manufacturer.
The moment you quote weight you are 'assuming' the density of a product you do not control.

Also: I fill by volume. By all means quote the 'expected' weight but do any of us measure out 3.2Kgs of 'sorb and try to fit that in the can?
