Cubic Decimeter

What is a cubic decimeter?

A cubic decimeter is the volume of a cube one decimeter on a side, exactly equal to one liter (0.001 m³).

Origin of the cubic decimeter

Derived from the decimeter; in 1964 the CGPM defined the liter as exactly one cubic decimeter.

Where it is used

Common in chemistry and engineering as an exact synonym for the liter.

When and where it was developed

CGPM, 1964.

Imperial Fluid Ounce

What is a imperial fluid ounce?

An imperial fluid ounce is 1/160 of an imperial gallon (28.4131 mL).

Origin of the imperial fluid ounce

Defined so that ten fluid ounces make an imperial half-pint.

Where it is used

Used in UK and Commonwealth recipes and labels.

When and where it was developed

UK, 1824.
