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.
Facts about Cubic Centimeter
Basic facts: The cubic centimeter [SI abbreviation: cm3] is a unit of volume base of which is the cubic meter. It corresponds to the volume of a cube measuring 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm, and is equivalent to 1/1,000,000 of a cubic meter, 1/1,000 of a liter, or one milliliter. To denote a cubic centimeter, non-SI abbreviations like “cc” and “ccm” are sometimes also used. A cubic centimeter is a very small unit of measurement, even smaller than a teaspoon, and is very practical for measuring the volume of small things.
History: The cubic centimeter originated from the cubic meter, using an International System of Units’ [SI] prefix, in this case, “centi,” to represent a submultiple of the main unit.
Use: Often in the form of milliliters (symbol: mL) the cubic centimeter is used in many scientific disciplines. Despite that the cubic centimeter is based on the SI unit of volume, the mL [and its multiples] are more typically used as a measurement of volume. Exceptions to that are the United States’ automotive and medical fields because the cubic centimeter is still widely used in these fields. Although, the United Kingdom utilizes cubic centimeters in the field of medicine, but not in the automotive.
