Units explained
Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter is the volume of a cube one decimeter on a side, exactly equal to one liter (0.001 m³).
Derived from the decimeter; in 1964 the CGPM defined the liter as exactly one cubic decimeter.
Common in chemistry and engineering as an exact synonym for the liter.
CGPM, 1964.
Imperial Quart
An imperial quart is one quarter of an imperial gallon (1.13652 L).
A subdivision of the 1824 imperial gallon.
Used in the UK and Commonwealth.
UK, 1824.
