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 Pint
Basic facts: A pint [symbol: pt, sometimes abbreviated as p] is a unit of volume and capacity in the United States customary and the imperial units’ systems. In both of mentioned systems, it is traditionally one-eighth of a gallon. The imperial pint is equivalent to around 568 mL. The liquid pint is about 473 mL in the United States, while the dry pint is 551 mL. The British imperial pint is approximately 20% larger than the American pint because the two systems are defined differently.
History: Pint originated from the Old French word “pinte” and possibly eventually from Vulgar Latin “pincta” which means “painted”, for marks painted on the side of a container to indicate capacity. As already mentioned, both the US and UK pints were historically defined as 1/8 of a gallon. In 1824, the difference between the definitions of the United States and United Kingdom pints appeared when the UK adopted a new definition of the gallon while the US maintained the older English measure of the wine gallon.
Use: The dry and liquid pints are still used in the U.S. as a measurement of volume, however, the process of metrication dictated that the pint be replaced by metric units of volume, it is still legal to use the pint as a supplementary unit in the UK, and certain items such as draught beer, milk, and cider, in returnable containers, are still measured in terms of pints.
