About Volume Units:

Cubic Meter (m³):The standard unit of volume in the International System of Units, equal to the volume of a cube with edges of 1 meter. Commonly used to measure the volume of large objects, rooms, and cargo.

Liter (L) / Milliliter (mL):The most commonly used capacity units in daily life. 1 liter equals 1 cubic decimeter, and 1 milliliter equals 1 cubic centimeter. Widely used for beverages, liquid medicines, cooking, and more.

Gallon (gallon):A capacity unit commonly used in English-speaking countries, but US gallons and Imperial gallons differ in size. A US gallon is about 3.785 liters, while an Imperial gallon is about 4.546 liters; pay attention to the difference when buying imported goods.

Cubic Foot (ft³):An imperial unit of volume, equal to the volume of a cube with edges of 1 foot. Commonly used in construction, lumber, concrete, and similar industries.

Barrel (barrel):Mainly used in the petroleum industry; 1 barrel of oil is approximately 159 liters. Barrels are also used as a unit in the beer industry, but the capacity standard may differ.

Cooking Units:Cups, fluid ounces, tablespoons, and teaspoons are common capacity units in cooking, and their standards may vary slightly between countries and regions. Pay attention to the unit system when using recipes.
