Units explained
Cubic Meter
The cubic meter is the SI derived unit of volume: the volume of a cube one meter on each edge. It is the anchor for all volume conversions.
Defined from the meter, the SI base unit of length, fixed by the speed of light since 1983.
The standard scientific and industrial unit of volume worldwide; used for water, gas, concrete and freight.
SI base derivation.
US Liquid Barrel
A US liquid barrel is 31.5 US gallons (119.24 L).
A federal standard barrel size for non-petroleum liquids.
Used in brewing and bulk-liquid commerce.
US trade standard.
