Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter (dm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The cubic decimeter has been used as a standard unit of volume in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for scientific and industrial measurements, as a convenient subdivision of the liter.
Current Use
The cubic decimeter is commonly used in scientific, medical, and industrial contexts to measure liquids and other substances, often interchangeably with liters, since 1 dm^3 equals 1 liter.
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.
