Liters (l)
Definition
A liter (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 milliliters, 1 cubic decimeter (1 dm³), or approximately 0.264 US gallons.
History
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as the 'cadil', later renamed 'litre'. It was defined as the volume of one kilogram of water at maximum density. Though not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with SI.
Current use
Liters are the global standard for measuring beverages, fuel, engine displacement, aquarium capacity, and liquid product volumes. Milk, water, soft drinks, and gasoline are all commonly sold in liters.
Cubic Meters (m³)
Definition
A cubic meter (m³) is the SI unit of volume, equal to the volume of a cube with 1 meter sides. It equals 1,000 liters or 1 kiloliter.
History
The cubic meter derives directly from the meter, the SI base unit of length. It became the standard large-volume unit with the global adoption of the metric system for construction, trade, and science.
Current use
Cubic meters are used worldwide for measuring room volume, natural gas consumption, concrete quantities, water storage tanks, shipping container capacity, and lumber volumes.
