Hundred-Cubic Foot
A hundred-cubic foot is a unit of volume equal to 100 cubic feet, commonly used in measuring large quantities of gases or liquids.
History/Origin
The hundred-cubic foot has historically been used in industries such as natural gas and HVAC to quantify large volumes, especially in the United States, as a convenient measure for gas quantities.
Current Use
Today, the hundred-cubic foot is primarily used in the natural gas industry to measure gas volumes, though it is less common with the adoption of standard SI units like cubic meters.
Cubic Meter
A cubic meter (m^3) is the SI unit of volume, representing the volume of a cube with edges one meter long.
History/Origin
The cubic meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the wavelength of light in vacuum.
Current Use
The cubic meter is widely used in science, engineering, and industry to measure large volumes of liquids, gases, and solids, especially in contexts like construction, manufacturing, and environmental science.
