About Cubic
Definition: The cubic meter (symbol: m³) is the SI unit of volume, equal to 1000 liters. Represents a cube with sides of one meter.
History: Fundamental unit derived from the meter when the metric system was established. Standard for large volume measurements.
Current Use: Used for measuring room volumes, construction materials, water consumption, natural gas, and large-scale liquid storage.
Examples: Room volume: 30-100m³, shipping container: 33-76m³, water usage: 10-20m³/month, concrete: measured in m³
About Liter
Definition: The liter (symbol: L) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter. Defined as the volume of one kilogram of water at maximum density.
History: Introduced in 1795 during the French Revolution as part of the metric system. Originally defined as one cubic decimeter, redefined multiple times for precision.
Current Use: Standard volume unit worldwide for liquids, cooking, fuel, and most commercial applications. Used in all metric countries and scientific contexts.
Examples: Beverage bottles: 0.5-2L, car fuel tank: 40-80L, swimming pool: 20,000-100,000L, cooking recipes: 0.1-2L
