Units explained
Imperial Fluid Ounce
An imperial fluid ounce is 1/160 of an imperial gallon (28.4131 mL).
Defined so that ten fluid ounces make an imperial half-pint.
Used in UK and Commonwealth recipes and labels.
UK, 1824.
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.
