Volume Units
International System of Units (SI)
The basic unit of volume measurement in the metric system of measurements is the cubic meter [m³].
The units derived from it are also used:
- 1 decimeter³ [dm³] = 0.001 m³.
- 1 centimeter³ [cm³] = 0.001 dm³.
- 1 millimeter³ [mm³] = 0.001 cm³.
In metrological measurements, also non-SI unit - liter, as well as derivatives from it are widely used.
- 1 Liter [L] = 1 dm³ = 0.001 m³.
- 1 Hectoliter [hL] = 100 liters = 100 dm³.
- 1 Decalitre [daL] = 10 liters.
- 1 Deciliter [dL] = 0.1 liters.
- 1 Centiliter [cL] = 0.01 liters.
- 1 Millilitre [mL] = 0.001 liters.
- 1 Microliter [μL] = 0.001 ml.
