Facts about Cubic Inch

Basic facts: In the imperial and the United States customary units’ systems the cubic inch [symbol in3] is a measurement of volume. So, it is the volume of a cube with each of its three dimensions: length, width, and depth being one inch long that equals 1/231 of a US gallon. 

1 cubic inch is around 16.387 ml. 

1 cubic foot is equal to exactly 1,728 cubic inches because 123 = 1,728. 

1 U.S. gallon equals exactly 231 cubic inches.

History: The cubic inch descended from the inch, a unit of length within the US customary and imperial systems of measurement. With the adoption of the international yard, since the 1950s and 1960s, the inch has been defined as precisely 2.54 cm.

Use: In the United States, and to some extent in the United Kingdom the cubic inch and cubic foot are still used. However, SI [International System of Units] units of measurement such as the liter, milliliter, and cubic meter are also extensively used across these countries. In the United States, the aircraft and automotive industries use the cubic inch to some degree, however, SI accepted units of volume are also used.

For instance, in the United Kingdom, automotive model numbers are occasionally denoted in cubic inches.

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.
