2. Volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

   Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. To ease calculations, a unit of volume is equal to the volume occupied by a unit cube (with a side length of one). Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3).

   An analog VU meter with peak LED. A volume unit (VU) meter or standard volume indicator (SVI) is a device displaying a representation of the signal level in audio equipment.. The original design was proposed in the 1940 IRE paper, A New Standard Volume Indicator and Reference Level, written by experts from CBS, NBC, and Bell Telephone Laboratories. [1]

4. Unit of volume - Wikipedia

   6 volumetric measures from the mens ponderia in Pompeii, a municipal institution for the control of weights and measures (79 A. D.). A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimensions.

   A gas meter measures energy indirectly by recording the volume of gas used. This figure can then be converted to a measure of energy by multiplying it by the calorific value of the gas. Power (flux of energy)

6. System of units of measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_units_of_measurement

   The other units of length and mass, and all units of area, volume, and derived units such as density were derived from these two base units. Mesures usuelles (French for customary measures) were a system of measurement introduced as a compromise between the metric system and traditional measurements. It was used in France from 1812 to 1839.

   By the 1940s the shipping koku was 1 ⁄ 10 of the shipping ton [14] of 40 or 42 cu ft (i.e., 110–120 L); the koku of timber was about 10 cu ft (280 L); [14] and the koku of fish, like many modern bushels, was no longer reckoned by volume but computed by weight (40 kan). [14]
