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.

UK Gallons

Definition

A UK gallon (imperial gallon) is a unit of volume equal to 4 imperial quarts, 8 imperial pints, or approximately 4.54609 liters. It is about 20% larger than a US gallon.

History

The imperial gallon was defined in the 1824 British Weights and Measures Act as the volume of 10 pounds of water at 62°F. It replaced the earlier English wine gallon (which became the US gallon) and the English beer gallon.

Current use

Imperial gallons are still used for fuel economy ratings in the United Kingdom and Canada (miles per imperial gallon). They occasionally appear in older British recipes and some Commonwealth country measurements.
