Measure_by_action [measured_value]
This frame involves words that provide a measure for some undelimited (mass) Entity by referring to an Event that a prototypical quantity (or duration) of the Entity stereotypically participates in. The Entity is not necessarily a physical entity, but may instead be an undelimited type of event (such as a noise, or an activity).
He put two [splashes|Event] of cologne on his face.
Sorry--there's only two [bites|Event] of cake left.
Add a [pinch|Event] of salt.
