Facts about Cubic Yard
Basic facts: A cubic yard [symbol: yd3] is the United States customary and imperial unit of the volume represented as the volume of a cube with measurements 1 yd × 1 yd × 1 yd. In other words, it is a unit of volume equal to a cube one yard long on each side. It is equivalent to 27 cubic feet, 0.7645549 cubic meters, and 764.5549 liters.
The IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers] symbol for the cubic yard is yd³. Also, the following abbreviations are used – cubic yards, cubic yard, cubic yds, cubic yd, cu yards, cu yard, cu yds, cu yd, CYs etc.
Unit of volume flow rate is 1 cubic yard per second [1 yd3/s]. It equals one cubic yard passing through a specified area every second.
Unit of volume flow rate is 1 cubic yard per minute [1 yd3/min]. It equals one cubic yard passing through a specified area every minute.
History: The international yard is the base of the cubic yard. The international yard was adopted in the 1950s and 1960s and is equivalent to 0.9144 meters.
Use: The cubic yard is used to some extent in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. All of these countries also use metric or SI [International System of Units] measurements for volumes like liters, milliliters, and cubic meters.
Facts about Liter
Basic facts: Liter (also spelled litre in British English) is a unit of volume with two official symbols in Latin: L and l. A liter is not part of the International System of Units (SI), however, CGPM (the standards body which defines SI) accepts liter for use within SI. The SI units of volume are cubic decimeters (dm3), cubic centimeters (cm3), and cubic meters (m3). 1 liter equals = 1dm3 = 1000cm3 = 0.001m3
History: Liter was first introduced in 1795 in France as a new “republican unit of measurement” that equaled one cubic decimeter. Liter (or litre) was named after litron, an old pre-revolutionary Carolingian measurement unit. 1 liter of water (liquid state) almost exactly equals 1 kilogram because in 1795 gram was defined 1 cubic centimeter of water at the melting ice temperature point. 3rd CGPM conference of 1901, a liter was defined as the space occupied by one kilogram of water at 3.98 °C (temperature of its maximum density) under 1-atmosphere pressure. In 1964 CGPM reverted to the previous and now current definition where 1 liter equals 1 decimeter (dm3).
Use: Liters are used to measure fluids (and occasionally solids that can be poured) by the size and capacity of their containers. The majority of fluid consumer commodities are measured in liters such as water, cooking oil, detergents, etc.
