Units explained
Cubic Foot
A cubic foot is the volume of a cube one foot on a side (28.3168 L).
Derived by cubing the international foot (0.3048 m).
Used for natural gas, refrigerators, shipping and HVAC.
1959 yard agreement.
Metric Cup
A metric cup is exactly 250 milliliters.
Adopted with metrication in Australia, New Zealand and other countries.
Standard cooking cup in metric-recipe countries.
Metrication, 20th c.
