In most contexts a mention of rate of fluid flow is likely to refer to the volumetric rate. In hydrometry , the volumetric flow rate is known as discharge . Volumetric flow rate should not be confused with volumetric flux , as defined by Darcy's law and represented by the symbol q , with units of m 3 /(m 2 ·s), that is, m·s −1 .
The cells in the human body are not outnumbered 10 to 1 by microorganisms. The 10 to 1 ratio was an estimate made in 1972; current estimates put the ratio at either 3 to 1 or 1.3 to 1. [299] The total length of capillaries in the human body is not 100,000 km.
Grains were not weighed. Special hour-glass shaped measure were used to determine the volume. Smallest unit = 1 Nilve 2 Nilve = 1 Kolve 2 Kolve = 1 Chipte (about quarter litre) 2 Chipte = 1 Mapte (about half litre) 2 Mapte = 1 Ser (about one litre) Liquid Volume Measures. These were hour glass shaped measure used for Milk, Ghee, Oils.
On 7 April 1795, the metric system was formally defined in French law using six units. Three of these are related to volume: the stère (1 m 3) for volume of firewood; the litre (1 dm 3) for volumes of liquid; and the gramme, for mass—defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice.

The litre (Commonwealth spelling) or liter (American spelling) (SI symbols L and l, [1] other symbol used: ℓ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm 3 ), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm 3 ) or 0.001 cubic metres (m 3 ).
