A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimensions. Units of capacity may be used to ...
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). The cubic metre is also a SI derived unit. [16] Therefore, volume has a unit dimension of L 3. [17] The metric units of volume uses metric prefixes, strictly in powers of ten. When applying ...
A bushel (abbreviation: bsh. or bu.) is an imperial and US customary unit of volume, based upon an earlier measure of dry capacity. The old bushel was used mostly for agricultural products, such as wheat: in modern usage, the volume is nominal, with bushels denoting a mass defined differently for each commodity.
Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. A litre is a cubic decimetre, which is the volume of a cube 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres (1 L ≡ 1 dm 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3; and 1 m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L.
United States customary units form a system of measurement units commonly used in the United States and most U.S. territories [1] since being standardized and adopted in 1832. [2] The United States customary system developed from English units that were in use in the British Empire before the U.S. became an independent country.
The lambda (λ) is a unit of volume equal to one cubic millimetre (1 mm 3). The litre (symbol l or L) is a unit of volume equal to one cubic decimetre (1 dm 3). The stere (st) is a unit of volume equal to 1 m 3.
Fanega – a unit of dry volume, and a unit of area; Fresnel – a unit of frequency; Garce – a unit of dry volume in India, and a unit of mass in Sri Lanka; Hobbit – a unit of volume, or, more rarely, of weight; Kula – a unit of area in India, and mass in Morocco; Last – a unit of mass or volume
The minim (abbreviated min, ♏︎ or ♍︎) is a unit of volume in both the imperial and U.S. customary systems of measurement. Specifically, in the imperial system, it is 1 ⁄ 60 of an imperial fluid drachm [1] [2] or 1 ⁄ 480 of an imperial fluid ounce; in the U.S. customary system, it is 1 ⁄ 60 of a US customary fluid dram or 1 ⁄ 480 of a US customary fluid ounce.
